A man who was injured after his ex-lover poured hot soup over his head left the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court in disappointed mood today after the judge did not comply with his request to drop the case.
The accused, Duwayne Brown, was taken into custody and charged after he poured a cup of hot soup over the complainant’s head during a heated argument concerning their relationship.
But the complainant whose burns was visible on his neck when he appeared in court today told the court that he only wanted the magistrate to warn Brown.
“I am leaving the country tomorrow and I would just like you to warn him that’s all,” the complainant said.
However, Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey told him that she has to sentence Brown because he pleaded guilty to assault occasioning grievous bodily harm.
“Your Honour I just want the case to end,” the complainant insisted.
The magistrate after making enquiries about the complainant’s injuries was informed that the burns were not serious and fined Brown $5000, or three months in prison.
