A Police Constable was granted bail with a surety of $75,000 or an alternate cash bail of $20,000 when he appeared virtually before a Couva Magistrates’ Court on May 29 to answer to charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
As part of the bail agreement, he should also stay 100 meters away from the virtual complainant as well as stay away from the Virtual complainant's home and workplace.
According to police, around 6 pm on Saturday, May 27, the complainant arrived at the defendant's residence and was granted access to the premises through the front door. An argument ensued between them and as a result the defendant then assaulted the complainant in the kitchen area of his apartment by dealing her several blows about her body.
The incident was reported on the same day at the Freeport Police Station and the defendant was subsequently charged on Sunday, May 28.
