Man on $50k bail for assaulting neighbour

Mar 19, 2025 News

Kaieteur News- A contractor was on Tuesday charged and placed on bail for allegedly assaulting his neighbour and causing actual bodily harm.

The accused, 45-year-old Courtney Punch, appeared at the Vigilance Magistrates’ Court to answer to the charge, which states that he assaulted Ravi Singh, also known as ‘Steve’, at Track ‘A’ Coldigen, East Coast Demerara (ECD) on March 14, 2025. Appearing before Senior Magistrate Sunil Scarce, Punch pleaded guilty.

The prosecution told the court that Singh was at his home, raking his parapet, when he was approached by Punch who instructed him to delete a video. Singh asked the defendant to leave his premises. This angered Punch, who took away Singh’s rake and hit him several times about his body.

Singh received three lashes on the right of his face, one to his ear, one to his neck, and one to his head. Following the assault, the injured man made a report at the Vigilance Police Station.

An investigation was launched and Punch was arrested.

Punch told the court that he was at a friend’s home, next door to Singh, celebrating Phagwah, when he saw the security camera from Singh’s home recording him and his wife.

He approached him and requested that the video be deleted, but Singh refused. Punch got angry, took the rake away and hit Singh twice on his right arm causing the rake to break.

After listening to both sides, Magistrate Scarce placed Punch on bail with the condition that he does not enter Singh’s property. He was also placed on a peace bond.

Punch is scheduled to return to court on April 14, 2025.
