Essequibo Coast man jailed for breaching protection order

Kevindra Jadgeo of Perth Public Road on the Essequibo Coast in Region Two has been sentenced to six months’ imprisonment by Anna Regina Magistrate Esther Sam after he had appeared before her to face a charge of breaching a protection order issued by the court.

That order had been issued against the 32-year-old Jagdeo at the petition of his 52-year-old mother Seromani Jagdeo, a resident of Devonshire Castle on the Essequibo Coast, and the court heard that he breached the order on January 19.
When Magistrate Sam conducted Jagdeo’s trial on Tuesday, two witnesses testified, and Jadgeo, in presenting his defence, provided sworn testimony and was subjected to cross-examination by the prosecutor. Following the proceedings, Magistrate Sam found Jadgeo guilty of breaching the protection order.
The charge was laid under Section 32 (b) of the Domestic Violence Act, chapter 11:09.
