The charges laid against him detailed that on March 13 and March 14, he used abusive and threatening language to his wife Evelyn Williams.
According to Police Prosecutor, Corporal Seon Blackman, the two reside at the same residence in Port Kaituma and Simon is in the habit of verbally abusing her.
On both days, he threatened her to chop off her head and throw it on the street for “everyone to see,” the prosecutor said.
The Prosecutor claimed that the woman became afraid for her life and filed a report at the Port Kaituma Police Station.
When asked to respond to the charges the man admitted to the offences but told the court “I don’t go to the station and mek complain when she does do the same thing to me.”
In response, Magistrate McGusty fined him $10,000 on each charge. He was placed on a bond to keep the peace for the next two (2) years.
