Kara Kara resident slapped with assault charge

A man who hails from Kara Kara, Mackenzie, Linden was placed on a bond to keep the peace for a year after he was placed before the courts on an assault charge.
Davion Chattergoon, 31, a self-employed father of four of Lower Kara Kara, Speightland, was accused of unlawfully assaulting Marietha Sausculotte on April 7, but she told Magistrate Clive Nurse on Tuesday that she did not wish to proceed with any evidence against the defendant. The woman who appeared along with the defendant at the Christianburg Magistrate’s Court said she was not forced into making the decision by anyone. Chattergoon had initially pleaded not guilty to the charge.  Failure to upkeep the bond will result in an alternative sentence of two months imprisonment.
