Kitty woman on bail after sports bar brawl

Sep 16, 2015 News

A young woman was yesterday released on $120,000 bail; she was slapped with a criminal charge after an appearance in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Shonette Gonsalves, of Lot 73 Dowding Street, Kitty, Georgetown, is accused of unlawfully and maliciously wounding Alana Duncan on August 19, at Kitty, Georgetown.
Gonsalves, 21, who was unrepresented by an attorney, was not required to plead to the charge after it was read to her by Magistrate Ann McLennan.
Police Prosecutor, Corporal Deniro Jones, pointed out that a medical report in favour of Duncan shows that the woman was badly injured and hospitalized. He added that she was subsequently discharged from the institution.
Further, Jones told the court that on the day in question, Duncan was seated at a popular bar in Kitty, when Gonsalves pounced and stabbed her with a knife.
When given a chance to address the court, Duncan explained that she and Gonsalves are former workmates. She added that the incident occurred at a bar in Kitty.
The Prosecutor had no objection to bail. However, he asked that it be substantial. This matter will be called again on October 14.
