A woman was fined $15,000 with a default sentence of three weeks’ imprisonment after she was found guilty by Magistrate Annette Singh of using threatening language towards her husband’s classmate.
Guilty: Emily Emon
Emily Emon had initially pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that on December 6, 2019, at Georgetown, she made use of threatening language towards Charmaine De Mendonca.
Reports are that Emon visited the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) base at Camp Ayanganna where her husband worked on December 6, 2019, and accused De Mendonca of having a relationship with him. It was reported that De Mendonca, 44, and Emon’s husband are classmates at the University of Guyana.
A heated argument ensued between the women during which Emon threatened De Mendonca and hurled a series of expletives at her. It is alleged that Emon also dealt her several punches and kicks during the process. It is further alleged that she threw De Mendonca to the ground causing her to sustain injuries.
As a result of the injuries sustained, De Mendonca was forced to seek medical attention.
The matter was later reported, and Emon was arrested and charged. She was also charged with wounding the woman.
The wounding case is still ongoing at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
