- court hears
A trio who allegedly assaulted each other was granted bail Thursday when they appeared before Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Thirty-five-year-old Debra Archer of Lot 57 Public Road, Kitty, pleaded not guilty to assaulting her cousin Andrew Cumberbatch, while Cumberbatch, 41, of the same residence, pleaded not guilty to unlawfully assaulting her and also denied unlawfully wounding Leroy Lewis. Lewis, 48, pleaded not guilty to unlawfully assaulting and causing bodily harm to Cumberbatch.
It is alleged that on September 21 at the trio’s Kitty home they assaulted each other.
Archer stated that on the day in question she got into an argument with Cumberbatch which resulted in him kicking her in the abdomen. However Cumberbatch stated that he retaliated that way after she had dealt him several blows to his head with a piece of wood. Cumberbatch went on to say that while wrestling with Archer, Lewis grabbed and started beating and biting him but according to Lewis it was Cumberbatch who bit him on the chest.
However, Cumberbatch’s Lawyer stated that Lewis’s attack on his client has been an ongoing occurrence and at present Lewis also has a case pending before the court for threatening Cumberbatch. The defence attorney then applied for bail.
Magistrate Robertson-Ogle subsequently placed Cumberbatch on $32,000 bail while Lewis was placed on $25,000. Archer was also granted bail of $7,000. The trio was then ordered to return to court on November 5.
Awwww its Kitty the city of brotherly and sisterly love..just a warning to all three to keep the peace will do…Long live Kitty….the best place in the world ever ehehehe
I think that debra should not let no man come between her and her family because he came from no where to make people life unhappy , i think he is not family and should stay out of family business and the whole problem started with two kids which should not have gone so far .this is candace from ny .i am a family menber.
Yes Kitty is a very beautiful village in Georgetown. I hope they learn a lesson from this, that violence don’t make a dispute better, in fact, it makes it 100% time worse. Give love my fellow “Kittyman”
i think we could have done without that extended information. if a woman’s man get involve in a problem to represent her that is her business not yours and if you r indeed family you should not air you family linen in public. this just makes me want to say that family in america always think they what is best. whatever.
