Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson yesterday ordered that a 16-year-old boy be kept in police custody when he appeared before her accused of chopping three men with a cutlass after they interfered with his girlfriend in a disco at Lethem.
The men were hospitalized for several days after the incident.
The teen, who appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, stood expressionless in the dock of the court where he was told that he was not required to plead to the indictable charges of inflicting grievous bodily harm on one man, unlawfully wounding another and feloniously wounding the third.
It is alleged that on June 21 at Sattie’s Disco, Lethem, the teen inflicted grievous bodily harm on Jimmy Glasgow. The teen is also accused on the same day and place of unlawfully and maliciously wounding Orin Hendricks.
The teen is further accused of unlawfully and maliciously wounding Royston Alleyne, with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or cause him actual bodily harm the same day and place.
The prosecution stated that on the day in question the teen and his girlfriend entered the disco and shortly after Glasgow, Hendricks and Alleyne started to interfere with the girl. The teen asked the men to desist from taunting his girlfriend, but the men continued even more brazenly, much to the teen’s annoyance.
A heated argument then ensued between the teen and the men and the teen reportedly then pulled out a cutlass from his pants’ waist and dealt each of the men several chops about their bodies which caused them to be hospitalized. The teen and his girlfriend fled the scene shortly after.
The magistrate ordered that the teen be kept in police custody and the matter be transferred to Lethem Magistrate’s Court for September 8.
Chivalry is alive and well isn’t it?

I am not an advocate of violence, but as the saying goes “Aggravation does cause murderation” hope this serve as a lesson to men who find pleasure in molesting ladies.
Moderator can you clear this up for me, at what age you are considered an adult in guyana, and what is the age of conscent.
Moderator’s note: Age of consent 16. Adult would be considered the voting age – 18

This teen went to almost the extreme to protect his girlfriend. As good his intentions might have been, violence never settles anything. The three men were tought a rough lesson on how to respect female. Chivalry with violence.

One slip with a cutlass in your waist and “poof” your’re a eunuch.
