SADAMITE SHOW DUNG ALMOST INA DI PEOPLE DEM COURTHOUSE

It was high drama just outside the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate’s Court last Friday after a woman attacked and threw several blows on her female lover who reportedly works at the courthouse.

The incident, which occurred about 11:30 a.m. and in full view of several people, left many in shock as they witnessed the court employee being assaulted by the woman, who accused her of being unfaithful.

“Yuh go gi wey mi sinting last night,” the woman said in between a series of punches, as some people called out to her to desist.

But what happened next caused many of the curious onlookers to drop their jaws in disbelief. A concerned passer-by, in an effort to help the court worker, approached the attacker and asked her to stop, but was shockingly chased away by the employee.

“Yu can’t come a di woman workplace and assault har like dat,” the man told the attacker as he attempted to intervene. But, before he could go any further, the employee quickly butted in: “Leave her alone, how yu get involved?”

The man simply walked away as the assault continued. Other individuals eventually stepped in and rescued the woman and chased away the attacker. Police eventually arrived on the scene, and counselled the court worker. Up to late yesterday, the assaulted woman had made no report of the incident.

Visitors to the court told The Star that it was not the first incident of its kind to happen in the precinct of the courthouse. Others opined that the women needed to deal with their matter privately instead of out in the open as it was very disgraceful.

In the meantime, The Star has learnt that an investigation has been launched by the assaulted woman’s employers to look into the incident and to discuss the way forward.
