A 28-year-old hairdresser from Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara, was on Tuesday charged with two counts of inflicting grievous bodily harm in connection with an incident involving a man and his four-year-old daughter.
Tawana Hamlet was arrested on Sunday and later charged by ranks from the Cove and John Police Station. The charges stem from an alleged assault on 26-year-old Tyrese Brandon Boucher and his four-year-old daughter, which reportedly occurred on Sunday in Ann’s Grove.
The charges were laid under Section 50 of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
Hamlet appeared before Magistrate Orinthia Schmidt at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. She pleaded not guilty to both charges and was granted bail in the sum of $80,000 on each count.
The matter was adjourned to July 13.
