A Plaisance Bus Park water vendor appeared in a city court yesterday charged with stabbing his reputed wife with an ice-pick after she decided to end their relationship.
Randy Bowen, of 17 Prince William Street, Plaisance, appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for his first arraignment.
It is alleged that on April 12, last, at Regent and Hinck Streets, he unlawfully assaulted his reputed wife so as to cause her actual bodily harm.
When asked to respond to the charge, the accused pleaded not guilty.
The case is being prosecuted by Corporal Deniro Jones and Bowen was unrepresented by legal counsel.
Corporal Jones explained that the victim was vending at Regent and Hinck Streets when she was confronted by Bowen, her former reputed husband, and they started to argue.
According to the Prosecutor, during the quarrel the woman asked him to move from her stall and he started to point his finger in her face. In response, the woman told him that the relationship is over and that she wished not to be engaged in a problem with him and tried to walk away.
The Prosecution said Bowen got angry and pulled her back towards him and dealt her two stabs with an ice-pick to her thigh.
The matter was reported and the accused was later arrested and charged with the offence.
The Corporal objected to him being granted bail citing that there were conflicts with the addresses he had provided to the court and police.
Bail was refused and Bowen was remanded. He is scheduled to appear before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on May 16.
