Quamina St man cleared in neighbour chopping

An argument over window curtains landed a man before the court yesterday on a charge that he took a cutlass and chopped his neighbour. However, Magistrate Ann McLennan found that Deodat Singh did not in fact chop Albert Jeffery and she admonished both men to act like adults before placing them on a bond to keep the peace.

Singh, 43, of Lot 128 Quamina Street, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on a charge that he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Jeffery.

He pleaded guilty but also offered an explanation.
