Berbice: The two sisters in a viral video on social appeared in the New Amsterdam Magistrates court where they were slapped with ten charges, but were granted bail.
Bail was granted in the sum of $120,000 each and the sister will return to the Whim magistrates’ court on January 06, 2020.
Twenty eight year-old, Hemwattie Singh and 22-year-old, Yasminie Ramsew both pleaded not guilty to all the charges when it was read to them by Magistrate Peter Hugh.
Singh was charged with damage to property, disorderly behavior and two counts of assaulting a police officer.
Her sister Ramsew was charged with resisting arrest, damage to property, dangerous driving, failure to report an accident, failure to stop after an accident, disorderly behavior and assaulting a police officer.
The incidents took place at the Rose Hall Police Outpost on the Corentyne.
Police prosecutor Rudolph Poliah objected to bail on the charges of resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer noting that the behavior is prevalent in society where police officers are being disrespected while executing their duties.
When asked by the magistrate why he should grant them bail, the sisters told the court that they were beaten by a female rank at the outpost.
The women were videotaped by ranks at the outpost after their behaviour became abusive. The sisters can be heard telling the ranks that they will all be fired after contact is made with “Ramjattan” presumably the Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan.
