Balram Ramkellowan, a 62-year-old man of Belvedere Village, Corentyne, Berbice, was yesterday sentenced to two years in jail by Magistrate Rabindranath Singh when he pleaded guilty to the charge of assault committed on his mother. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of exposure of genitals.
Ramkellowan, who made his appearance at the Albion Magistrate’s Court, was accused of assaulting his mother Regina Ramkellowan and showing his penis to her on Thursday December 12, 2013.
According to the prosecution, on the day in question, the man who is a regular drinker came home drunk. His mother, who was in a hammock, upbraided him about his drinking habits and an argument ensued.
The man then proceeded to harass the elderly woman. He chucked her and grabbed her by the hair. He then allegedly took out his penis and shook it in her face and asked the woman if she liked it. The woman subsequently fell out of the hammock and sustained injuries.
A report was made at the Police station and the man was arrested and charged.
In court he pleaded guilty to the charge of assault and was sentenced to two years in jail.
He will return to court on February 25 on the charge of exposure of genitals.
