A fight resulting from an apparent love triangle landed two women before a city court yesterday.
Sabitrie Karran and Hemwattie Outar stood before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan facing separate charges. The charge read to 52-year-old Karran stated that on January 25, at Water Street, she unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm on Outar. The 59-year-old Outar, meanwhile, was charged with unlawfully assaulting Karran, thereby causing her actual bodily harm, on the same date and at the same place.
Both women pleaded not guilty.
Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones told the court that the women were involved in a triangular love affair. He said on the day of the altercation, one of the women observed the other with their mutual lover. As a result, Karran picked up a wrench from a minibus and hit Outar.
The prosecutor made no objection to bail for either woman but he requested that they both be placed on a bond to keep the peace.
Karran, a vendor of Supply, Mahaica, and Outar, a planter, were both released on $10,000 bail and ordered to remain 50 feet away from the other. They were also placed on a bond to keep the peace until the completion of their trials.
The matters will be heard again on March 23.
