Neighbours dispute leads to multiple charges

A fisheries labourer, a janitor and his mother were all charged for their actions in a dispute among neighbours of Recht-door-Zee, Canal Number 1, West Bank Demerara.

Krishna Roberts, 23, a janitor, appeared before Magistrate Clive Nurse at Wales Magistrate’s Court on Thursday where he was charged with throwing missiles.

According to the allegations, on Tuesday 28 June at Recht-door-Zee, Roberts threw missiles to the annoyance of Rolleta Junior, 35, also of Recht-door-Zee.

He was further charged with use of threatening language towards the same woman. When asked for his address the young man sought his mother’s assistance as he was unable to provide this information, much to the annoyance of the Magistrate. When Roberts’ mother attempted to provide the address, she was asked to leave the courtroom.

After his address was provided by the Police Prosecutor, Roberts was placed on self-bail for throwing missiles and $5000 bail for the threatening language charge.

In response to his charges Junior, who is also a single-parent mother of four children, was charged with threatening language towards Roberts on the same day of the dispute.

The woman, who works as a fisheries labourer, pleaded not guilty to the offence and was placed on $5000 bail.

Meanwhile, Roberts’ mother Indrawattie Roberts also of Recht-door-Zee was later charged and placed on self-bail on allegations that she also made use of abusive Language.

The three persons will all return to court on August 25 for fixtures.
