Lindener gets four years for wounding sisters

Rajin Allen, the Lindener who assaulted the mother of his children and caused her sister to suffer second degree burns to the right side of her face, was sentenced to four years in jail on Monday.

Allen, 29, of Block 22 Wismar, Linden, appeared before Magistrate Wanda Fortune at the Linden Magistrate’s Court, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of felonious wounding.

He was sentenced to four years imprisonment on each charge but the sentences are to run concurrently.

Allen injured the two sisters on March 29 after he was denied access to a phone belonging to the mother of his children.

The report stated that the man, whose request was denied, armed himself with a mug of boiling water and threw it on the woman’s sister, causing her to suffer second degree burns.

The man later armed himself with a piece of wood and dealt the mother of his children a blow to her head, and later struck her to her lower right leg with a three-inch block, causing her to suffer further injuries and a broken right leg.

Allen later turned himself in at the Mackenzie Police Station and was thereafter charged with the offences.
