Man placed on 2-year peace bond for threatening romantic rival

A man involved in an alleged love triangle was on Friday placed on a two-year peace bond after admitting to threatening the husband of a woman he is allegedly romantically involved with.

Heeranand Boodhram, of Prashad Nagar, Georgetown, appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, charged with threatening language, contrary to Section 14A of the Summary Jurisdiction (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:02.
The charge arose from an incident on Monday, April 21, at Waterloo Street, South Cummingsburg, Georgetown, where Boodhram reportedly used threatening language toward Yugindra Persaud, the husband of a woman Boodhram is reportedly seeing.
Boodhram pleaded guilty with an explanation, claiming that Persaud had threatened to kill him, and in response, he said: “If you want to kill me, I would bruck you up.”
In court, Boodhram further told the Magistrate that Persaud had been repeatedly urging him to stay away from his wife, but he maintained that Persaud was speaking to the wrong person. “I told him he needs to talk to his wife, not me,” Boodhram said.
Persaud told the court that he and his wife are working on their marriage and that he has tried to avoid conflict. However, during a recent encounter, after dropping his wife off at her mother’s home, he noticed Boodhram allegedly following his car. Finding it suspicious, he claimed that he had called the police. Before their arrival, he said Boodhram blocked his vehicle and threatened him saying, “Do what you want to do…”.
Persaud added that after Boodhram was arrested, he told investigators that he was under the influence of alcohol when he made the threats. Persaud also requested a restraining order, saying he wants no contact due to a child being involved at the residence.
After hearing both sides, Magistrate Azore ordered Boodhram to have no contact with Persaud and placed him on a two-year bond to keep the peace.
