Man accused of assaulting girlfriend remanded to prison

A man was on Friday remanded to prison after a city Magistrate heard that he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend. The defendant, Abraham Hamilton, appeared before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
He denied the charge which alleged that on May 22, at Meadow Brook Squatting Area, Georgetown, he unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm on Shanice Sampson. Bail was refused and Hamilton was remanded to prison until July 21.
Earlier this month, Levi Vanhogen was charged and remanded to prison for allegedly cuffing his girlfriend of eight months in the face.
He, too, had appeared before Magistrate Daly before whom he pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that on June 13, he unlawfully and maliciously assaulted Tanisha Smith to cause her actual bodily harm.
The court was told that the woman was rubbing her son’s back when Vanhogen attacked her, cuffing her twice in the face. The woman ran into her neighbour’s yard for refuge. Vanhogen’s matter was postponed until June 30.
