To­ba­go ca­lyp­son­ian Alex Gift (To­ba­go Chalkie) will ap­pear be­fore the Scar­bor­ough Mag­is­trate’s Court to­day, charged with four counts of in­flict­ing griev­ous bod­i­ly harm on his land­la­dy Sobah Samuel.

His wife- Ver­leen Gift- was charged with as­sault by beat­ing. She got bail while To­ba­go Chalkie re­mains in po­lice cus­tody.

This is ac­cord­ing to To­ba­go’s Po­lice Me­dia Am­bas­sador and In­spec­tor(Ag.) Ali­cia Pig­gott.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, a man al­leged­ly threw a sub­stance on Samuel on Thurs­day, fol­low­ing a rent and wall con­struc­tion in­ci­dent at a Bon Ac­cord hard­ware store on the land leased from Samuel.

The land­la­dy was al­so al­leged­ly beat­en by the man’s wife.

Samuel was treat­ed at the Scar­bor­ough hos­pi­tal.

On Fri­day, Samuel told Guardian Me­dia when the sub­stance was thrown on her, her clothes stuck to her skin, and she was in pain.

Crown Point po­lice con­tin­ue in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
