Man placed on bond after assaulting wife over text message

Chandradat Ramdat, of East Canje, was placed on a bond for one year after he admitted to assaulting his wife, who had enquired about a text message.

Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo imposed the bond after his wife of seventeen years, Kowsilla, said she was fed up with the constant beatings.

The woman related that the defendant was in the habit of hitting her and while she never complained, she believed that she has had enough.

On April 30, an argument erupted at their Sheet Anchor, East Canje home following a text message on the defendant’s phone.

As a result, Ramdat kicked and cuffed his wife, who had to be rescued by her teenage daughter, who in turn was assaulted and had to flee to the police station, where ranks were summoned. Ramdat, who had been remanded for a day, was released on self-bail with respect to the charge of assaulting his daughter. He has to return to the New Amsterdam Court on May 25.
