A man was sentenced to 24 months in jail on Friday after he admitted to wounding two men.
Aaron Lewis admitted that on February 21st, 2019, at D’Urban Street, he inflicted grievous bodily harm on Ravindra Nauth Singh. He also admitted that on the same date, he wounded Ryan Arlene.
Lewis pleaded guilty to the charges after they were read to him by Magistrate Leron Daly in Georgetown.
According to the prosecutor’s facts, Arlene and Singh are known to Lewis. It was reported that Lewis and a relative of Singh had an exchange of words and Lewis started to disrespect Singh’s wife. Singh went to confront Lewis to ask him to desist but Lewis picked up a wood and dealt him a lash to his face causing injuries. Singh was rushed to the hospital where a surgery was done.
Lewis, armed with a cutlass, then confronted Arlene, who was at the time, in front of his own house with a friend. Arlene picked up a bicycle to defend himself and Lewis dealt him a chop to his hand.
Lewis was sentenced to 18 months in jail for wounding Singh and an additional six months for wounding Arlene.
