Woman wants justice for beaten brother

Seemungal suffered injuries to his left eye and remained warded in stable condition at San Fernando General Hospital yesterday.

At the time of the alleged assault, the police were investigating a report of domestic abuse at Seemungal’s house on Ramlal Street, Penal.

Relatives yesterday feared the 36-year-old father of two may lose his sight.

“We are not leaving that so and I will be making an official report to the Police Complaints Authority.

“Look how he end up in hospital and right now he is experiencing a lot of pain in his head and chest. He may even lose sight in one eye,” his sister Seeta said yesterday.

She denied a police report that her brother attacked a female relative with a pitch fork.

She said her brother had an eating fork in his hand and never assaulted the woman.

Investigators said a woman made a report of domestic violence at the Penal station. The woman claimed Seemungal was intoxicated and had beaten her with a pitchfork. Two policemen and a policewoman visited the home.

They report Seemungal was handcuffed and while being escorted to the police vehicle he fell down an incline and sustained his injuries.
