Wife binds drunk husband, threatens to kill him

…but spouse saves her from jail

In the culture of some countries some people find bondage (one partner tying up another one with a rope) to be a source of sexual pleasure.
The Japanese have made an art form of it, calling it kinbaku, and there are some western countries where people get a lot of fun from tying each other up as a kind of erotic game.
That culture is not believed to have reached Guyana as yet, though.
And that is why an El Dorado Village, West Berbice man had such a terrifying experience one Sunday night last month.
Clyde McInroy and his reputed wife, Pauline Hinckson, had taken some drinks (several shots of high wine) earlier in the night and they both retired to bed, in Clyde’s words, “sweet” and in good spirits.
Clyde’s mood of inebriation, however, disappeared entirely some time around midnight when he woke up after a short doze and found that he couldn’t move.
His hands were securely tied to the bed head and his feet were bound together.
Additionally, his mouth was stuffed with paper and he could only breathe through his nose and there was his drinking partner Pauline staring at him with an angry look on her face.
She had a cup of water in her hands and she emptied it in his face. Certain that he was awake, she told him that she was about to kill him.
Clyde went into total panic.
With a huge effort he managed to spit the gag from his mouth and started bawling with all his might.
Thankfully for him it was West Berbice, and soon neighbours came rushing out in their numbers to see what was wrong.
They found Clyde securely bound and in no time they released him from his bonds.
Pauline then tried to make joke of it, but Clyde would have none it.
He didn’t know about bondage and besides she sounded quite serious when she told him she was about to kill him, he said.
Once freed by neighbours, he went straight to the Police Station at Weldaad and reported the matter.
Pauline wanted to “make up the story” but he insisted that she should pay a penalty for the horrible scare she had given him.
After some negotiations between the couple, the Police charged Pauline with threatening language.
She appeared before Magistrate Tejnarine Ramroop at Blairmont Magistrate’s Court earlier this week and pleaded guilty and that was when Prosecutor Sergeant Grace Bristol gave the narrative of Clyde’s midnight scare.
Standing alongside a burly Clive, Pauline, slim and somewhat diminutive in size, pleaded guilty.
She however denied that she really wanted to kill her reputed husband.
“That was not my intention my worship,” she said in a penitent voice and said nothing else leaving open to speculation what was her real intention in tying up her reputed husband.
Magistrate Ramroop wanted to send her to prison but Clyde, his heart perhaps softening with the passage of time, intervened and said that he would not want her to go to jail.
She was fined $5,000 with an alternative of 14 days in prison. The couple left the courtroom separately.
