Essequibo Coast labourer jailed for threatening behaviour

A 50-year-old labourer with a prior conviction has once again found himself on the wrong side of the law, this time for threatening a fellow villager.
Moniram Singh, also known as ‘Gabla’, of Westbury, Essequibo Coast, was on Tuesday sentenced to 90 days’ imprisonment after pleading guilty to a charge of threatening behaviour committed against Jennifer Ramcharran, a 50-year-old housewife from the same village.

The incident occurred on Friday, and the matter was heard before Magistrate Ravindra Mohabir at the Anna Regina Magistrate’s Court. Singh admitted to the offence during his court appearance and was promptly sentenced to three months behind bars.
This is not Singh’s first brush with the law. Just four months earlier, in March, he was convicted of theft and sentenced to six months in prison by Magistrate Tamieka Clarke at the Suddie Magistrate’s Court.
In that matter, Singh was found guilty of stealing a cellphone valued at $180,000 from Parsram Singh at the Long Xin Supermarket in Richmond, Essequibo Coast, on March 10.
