A 25-year-old Moru­ga man will ap­pear be­fore a Princes Town Mag­is­trate to­mor­row, Mon­day 23 No­vem­ber 2020, charged with goat maim­ing and as­sault by threats.

A re­lease from the Po­lice Ser­vice con­firms that KENDALL KHAN, of La Lune Vil­lage, Moru­ga, was ar­rest­ed and charged on Sat­ur­day No­vem­ber 21st by of­fi­cers of the Moru­ga Po­lice Sta­tion.

The charges arose out of an in­ci­dent in which the ac­cused al­leged­ly chopped his neigh­bour’s goat sev­er­al times.  A re­port was sub­se­quent­ly made to po­lice.

Ac­cord­ing to the TTPS state­ment, de­tec­tives in­ves­ti­gat­ing the in­ci­dent dis­cov­ered that the ac­cused re­port­ed­ly had an ar­gu­ment with his neigh­bour over the man’s goat eat­ing his crops, at about 9:10 pm on Sat­ur­day No­vem­ber 21st.

The vic­tim re­port­ed­ly told po­lice that the ac­cused left and re­turned armed with a cut­lass, and pro­ceed­ed to chop the goat. The sus­pect al­so al­leged­ly made threats to the vic­tim.

The sus­pect was lat­er charged by PC Hug­gins for the of­fences.

He will an­swer when the mat­ter comes up for hear­ing at the Princes Town Mag­is­trates’ Court on Mon­day 23rd No­vem­ber 2020.
