Man accused of demanding sex after break-in
A man who was mobbed and beaten after being accused of breaking into a woman’s house and demanding sex appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court last week.
But the accused, Oneil Walker, pleaded not guilty to burglary and wounding with intent.
The court heard that on the day in question Walker broke into the complainant’s home in East Kingston and demanded sex. When his request was refused, he took up the complainant’s television.
The woman reportedly grabbed Walker in his chest and made an alarm. A male relative went to her assistance.
The court was also told that Walker pulled a knife at the male relative, used it to stab the man then fled.
However, neighbours, who had heard the commotion, descended on Walker and beat him.
On Wednesday when the matter was mentioned, Senior Resident Magistrate (RM) Judith Pusey, after hearing the allegations, asked why Walker was on bail .
“I was in (Kingston) public hospital for one month and six days,” Walker said.
“Why you complaining, you know why you were there,” RM Pusey said. “You know you can’t get no sympathy from me.”
Walker then denied breaking into the complainant’s home and wounding her male relative.
“I wasn’t in her house, is her brother attack me,” he said.
Walker’s bail was then extended for him to return to court on April 15.
