The Kitty businessman who was ordered to stay 1,000 feet away from his daughter for life now awaits sentencing after he was found guilty of the offences of inflicting grievous bodily harm and assaulting the 25-year-old woman.
The businessman, Devanand Singh, yesterday appeared in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court before Principal Magistrate Leron Daly and was found guilty. The magistrate deferred sentencing until March 23 after the defendant’s attorney, Nigel Hughes, asked for a probation report to be done.
In April of last year the man was charged with the two offences before Magistrate Daly after a video of him was shared on Facebook where he was seen assaulting the woman.
He was then ordered to stay 1,000 feet away from her for a lifetime and was granted bail in the sum of $400,000 after he had pleaded not guilty to the two offences. According to the court, the young woman always has the option of having the protection order changed if she ever wishes to do so.
