A man who admitted to slapping his wife and biting her after a misunderstanding was yesterday sentenced to 14 days in jail.
Deoraj Singh appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and pleaded guilty to assaulting Tiffany Fordyce.
The Georgetown Magistrates’ Court 1 heard from Prosecutor Bharat Mangru that the Singh slapped the woman and bit the palm of her hand after an argument about Fordyce taking dinner for him.
But Attorney Paul Fung-A-Fat begged the magistrate to be lenient with the man, while stating that his wife was not willing to pursue the matter. He also said that the bite the woman received was a “love bite.” Singh, when asked if he had anything to say, apologised for his actions. He was then sentenced to 14 days in jail.
