According to the facts of the case, Husbands, the virtual complainant (VC), and the defendant were at her home when an argument erupted between the two. Sometime after the argument, Anthony angrily remarked that he would “kill” the woman. Fearful for her life, the woman rushed to the La Grange Police Station, and told ranks that she was fearful for her life and that of her child.
Police, acting on what the woman had told them, quickly contacted Anthony and apprehended him because of the allegation. He appeared before the magistrate on Thursday wearing a foot shackle.
The man told Magistrate Clive Nurse that he was present at the woman’s home because he had gone there to deliver some items for his child. The woman, however, explained that she was seeking to have the court issue a restraining order against Anthony because of his threating behaviour. The remainder of the hearing was held in-camera.
Over the last few months, several domestic violence-related incidents have arisen in courts across the country. On June 21, Berbice mother Mintie Karamchand was hacked to death allegedly by jealous ex-husband Goldburn December. The 47-year-old suspect later plunged into the Canje River, and has since not been seen.
