A Soesdyke woman is expected to be on her best behavior, having been placed on a six-month suspended sentence.
The sentence was handed down yesterday at the Providence Magistrate’s Court by Magistrate Leslie Sobers.
At the hearing, 43-year-old Everanie Ram of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, was charged with wounding. It was alleged that on Tuesday last, she wounded Ivor Abdool Ragnauth, the father of her children. The accused pleaded guilty.
The court was told that Ragnauth visited Ram’s home on March 22 and decided to sleep over. Several days later, on the morning of Tuesday, March 26, there was a misunderstanding between Ragnauth and his son which caused Ram to intervene. The woman claimed that Ragnauth lashed her with a cushion and in retaliation she armed herself with a glass bottle and struck him on the head.
Having heard what transpired, the Magistrate informed the accused that she would be given a six-month suspended sentence. Ram was further cautioned to stay out of trouble.
Also at the court yesterday, a miner was granted bail after being charged with unlawful and malicious wounding.

According to the prosecution’s case, Calder and another known suspect attacked De Younge, who was sitting in his car, and dealt him several stab wounds about his body.
Calder is expected to make his next court appearance on April 16.
