Three women have been charged in connection with the fight at Langley Park Government School, on Thursday, a video of which has been widely circulated on social media.
Roxy Baptiste, 43, self-employed, Lukiesha Baptiste, 36, a farmer and Azania Caine, 24, a secretary, pleaded not guilty when they appeared before Magistrate Kaywana Jacobs at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
They were charged that on Oct. 3, they entered upon the property of the Langley Park Government School to wit the schoolyard to commit the offence of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The Baptistes were further charged that on Oct. 3, at Langley Park, they assaulted Donnette Sampson, 34, a teacher, of New Chapmans/Cedars, causing actual bodily harm.
Caine and Roxy were charged that Oct. 3, at Langley Park, they assaulted Lushan Sampson, 38, an auxiliary police officer, of New Chapmans, causing actual bodily harm.
The accused told the court that lawyer Charmaine Walters represents them.
The magistrate continued the EC$2,000 station bail with one surety for each of the accused.
They were also ordered to have no contact with the virtual complainants.
The matter has been adjourned to Nov. 11, for a status hearing.
Well at least there was no killing.
The law is way too soft on issues of these types. Samo ,no loss of life,but ,what if someone died?The judicial system needs to send a strong message to people who feel they can go into our schools and assault staff/ students. Not holding my breath. Someone has to die before anything is done.Sad state of affairs.
Vines Samo seems to be a person whose elevator does go all the way up, it got stucked between floors. In his world it is all right to break the law once in the process no one is killed . Very moronic way of thinking. In Regina v Sussex, the law must not only be done but it must be seen to be done. It never says that the offense must be extreme.
Related to the news, it could have been worse seeing people are totally pissed off. I am not advocating for anything worse to happen. Also I don’t know Regina or Sussex but I think they are fed up of hearing their names being called in SVG.
What if someone dropped an Atomic bomb in Kingstown harbor?
