Man remanded for damaging louvre panes belonging to ex-wife

Thirty-two-year-old Mark Sampson of Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, was on Monday remanded to prison by Magistrate Leroy Daly on a damage to property charge.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that on July 27, 2019, at Block E Sophia, Greater Georgetown, he unlawfully and maliciously damaged two louvre panes worth $14,000 belonging to his ex-wife.
Prosecutor Richard Harris told the court that the defendant was previously charged for similar offences and was warned on several occasions to stay away from the woman.
The court further heard that the ex-husband is in constant contact with the victim for varying reasons.
As such, the prosecutor objected to bail on the grounds that the defendant poses a threat to the victim, since he is in a habit of going over to her premises. The matter was adjourned until July 31, 2019.
