An embarrassing footage of a man being physically assaulted by his female lover is being circulated online. In the three-minute clip, a stout-built woman could be seen raining several blows on her thin lover, while he lies helpless beneath her, trying to escape her grasp.

The woman was allegedly beating him because he 'disrespected' her on the road. "Who yah ramp wid?" the woman questioned, while straddling his back. "A big, big disrespect yuh jus gwaan wid! Who is you? Who is you fi a come diss me pan di road" the woman asked angrily while punching him.

She proceeded to ask him for his cellular phone, which he attempted to hide from her. "Leggo offa me, weh di phone deh?" she asked the man while he attempted to slip from beneath her.

While attempting to laugh off his shame, he asked, "weh yah try do? Show me up in front a me fren!" to which she responds, "yeah! Nuh dat me a do!" while his friend, who

doubled as the cameraman, could be heard in the background jeering, "a Facebook dis a go pan and yuh face deh pan dis live!" Another friend could also be heard encouraging the woman to continue her assault on the man, "How yuh mean! Siddung pan him, mek him know a you run tings."

Her response was to use the cell phone to hit him several times in the head. The friend could be heard not only laughing but egging the woman on. "Siddung pan him, Donna, squeeze him throat, shot him a box! Shot him a box, browning," he said.

The man continued to struggle to move but again failed. The woman stated while looking in the camera,"see dis yah phone yah, is mine now!"

The man was finally given some relief when the woman instructed the cameraman to stop the recording. The video has received close to 2,000 shares and more than 110,000 views on Facebook, with many viewers sympathising with the man and bashing the woman and his friends.

"That guy needs to find new friends and find a less abusive woman, not because he is a man - he can be abused too, abuse in any case is wrong," a viewer commented.

Another added: "If it was vice-versa it would've been a huge controversy, domestic violence is never okay, it doesn't matter what gender is doing the violence. I hope he gets out of that abusive relationship."

"That man is a gentleman, if he did box her down it would be the other way around. She dissing him; calling him p. I respect you, Don, run away that big fat ting you have. She's not a real woman," another viewer stated.

A man accused of hitting his girlfriend with a lamp after she threatened to terminate their relationship had his bail extended when he appeared before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

Charged with assault occasioning grievous bodily harm is 37-year-old electrician Andrew Fearon from Old Hope Road, St Andrew.

Allegations are that on September 3, approximately 12:15 a.m., at the complainant's home, the 34-year-old complainant reportedly told him that she is going to terminate their relationship.

Sometime after the initial revelation, it is alleged that Fearon, in a fit of rage, punched the complainant in her eye. It is believed that the accused man then proceeded to fling his girlfriend on a bed, punching her repeatedly all over her body.

It is believed that the accused then reached for a metal bedside lamp on a night table, and used it to hit her several times.

The complainant had to seek medical attention for the injuries she had sustained during the alleged onslaught.

Sometime after the incident, the complainant reported the matter to the Matilda's Corner police. Police personnel went in search of Fearon at his premises where he was arrested and later charged.

When cautioned, Fearon said "Officer, she is a ungrateful woman, after all mi do fi her."

In court, the accused man had his bail extended by Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey. He returns to court on November 24, pending an outstanding medical report. A fingerprint order was also made against him.

e-Learning Jamaica Tablet distribution in high gear

Horace Fisher

Seventh graders, Britania (left) and Brianna Harris from Central High School in May Pen, Clarendon, show their new tablets following the handover of the educational tools to the institution on Monday.

Horace Fisher, Star Writer

The $1.4 billion Tablet in Schools Pilot Programme is well under way with some 8,900 students and 1,600 teachers already receiving the educational gadgets, according to e-Learning Jamaica Implementation Supervisor, Dorothy Thompson.

She also disclosed that since the distribution began at the Salt Savannah Primary School in Rocky Point, Clarendon, in early September, 19 of the 38 schools in the pilot programme have benefited. However, there are reported incidents of thefts.

"We are expected to distribute some 26,000 tablets to the 38 schools in the pilot programme by the end of November," Thompson disclosed at Monday's distribution at Central High in May Pen, Clarendon.

"Unfortunately, a number of the tablets have already been stolen and are being tracked by our security's team. However, the perpetrators have turned the systems off and we are unable to recover them at this time."

She argued that while the educational gadgets have already been distributed to schools in every parish except St Ann and St Mary, there are a number of uncollected systems for students and new teachers who entered the school system in September.

"There are a few students and some teachers who are yet to receive theirs. However, as soon as arrangements are made, they, too, will be presented," the implementation supervisor said.

Principal of Central High, Vinroy Harris, whose school is the 21st in the programme to receive the educational gadgets, was overjoyed. He declared that the teaching and learning experience at the school will be significantly enhanced.

According to Harris, the tablets have ushered in a new chapter of students' educational development, which will give instructors a strong leverage and will eventually be linked to the institution's Students Monitoring System.

"The tablets are a key resource in the educational development of our students, because it will eliminate a lot of the chalk and talk and provide for a more participatory learning experience here," Harris reasoned.

"Eventually, we will be able to link the systems tour Students Monitoring System to give teachers a greater latitude and insight into the students' activities at school and/or at home."

Cruise ship complex in Falmouth to get walk-through thermal sensor

A walk-through thermal-sensing unit is to be purchased for the Falmouth Cruise Ship Complex as part of the Government's Ebola Preparedness and Response Activities.

Minister of Health Dr Fenton Ferguson received a cheque valued at J$7 million from Supreme Ventures Limited for the purchase of the unit, installation and training as well as the provision of 25 handheld thermal sensors and Ebola kits. The official handover took place at Jamaica House Monday.

Dr Ferguson said the Ministry of Health has been working with various partners and stakeholders to put mechanisms and systems in place towards an effective response to Ebola.

"A part of this preparation means putting systems in place at our points of entry to heighten our surveillance. This contribution from Supreme Ventures Ltd will go a far way in terms of the preparedness effort. With the current Ebola outbreak which has seen cases rising to more than 10,000 and close to 5,000 deaths, and with new cases showing up in the United States and Spain, Jamaica's response especially at the points of entry must be heightened," he stated.

Last week, Sagicor donated funds to purchase a walk-through thermal-sensing unit for the Sangster International Airport.

Dr Ferguson says he is pleased with the response from the private sector and other groups which have been assisting with the country's preparation for Ebola.

A major operation led by the Revenue Protection Department with the assistance of detectives from the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) swooped down upon the offices of the Administrator General's Department (AGD), yesterday morning in a multimillion dollar fraud probe.

Five persons, including an employee said to be of the pension unit of the department, were taken into custody in connection to the probe. The probe, which commenced at 4:30 a.m., also took the detectives into sections of the Kingston 8 residential area and Higholborn Street in downtown Kingston.

It is alleged that over an unspecified period of time, monies were funnelled from the pension unit. The figure numbered in the millions.

Cell phones belonging to particular employees were also temporarily seized. Certain employees, it is said, were also prohibited from making office calls outside the AGD and security inside the building was tight.

In the meantime, police investigators have revealed that charges will be laid against several persons at the end of the major fraud probe.

"They will be interviewed. The normal processes will be done. Charges will be proffered; I can't say if it will be proffered against all five, but I can tell you that persons will be charged at the end of it all. Persons will be interviewed before any charges are proffered," said media liaison officer at MOCA Inspector Dahlia Garrick.

Two remanded in triple murder released

Two of the three men who were previously taken into custody in relation to last week's triple murder in the east Kingston community of Rockfort have been released.

They are Paul Waite, otherwise known as 'Pappy', and a man known only by his alias 'Jah Bouki'. The third man known only as 'Monkey Man remains in custody.

According to Deputy Superintendent Hornet Williams, who is attached to the East Kingston Police Division, the men were released because the police had nothing to hold them on.

"We are not getting anything substantial from the citizens, we do not have a choice, we have to release them. There is nothing we can do," Williams said.

Top police investigators had met yesterday to discuss the fate of the three men taken into custody and as a result of insufficient information to hold them, two were released.

It was reported that last Wednesday patrons were at a bar along St John's Road in the community after 7 p.m. when a group of gunmen pounced on them and opened fire indiscriminately.

Eight persons were shot in the attack, which left three dead.

WESTERN BUREAU: A British national who attempted to smuggle 27 packages of cocaine in his rectum pleaded guilty and was remanded in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on Friday.

Forty-three-year-old Kevin Peart, from Birmingham, England, was before the court on charges of possession of, dealing in and attempting to export half a pound of cocaine. He was remanded until November 3, when he will be brought back for sentencing.

The court was told that on October 17, approximately 3:10 p.m., Peart was preparing to board a flight to Birmingham at the Sangster International Airport, when an officer on duty noticed that he was behaving suspiciously.

Peart was taken to an interview room, where he admitted to pushing 27 packages of cocaine into his anus. He was taken to another room where he subsequently passed out the packages, and when cautioned by the officer, he reportedly said, "I am not dealing." He was then arrested and charged.

"Why did you do this, Sir?" Resident Magistrate Carolyn Tie asked Peart, after the circumstances of the case were outlined.

"It was one time, I took a chance, and it won't happen again," Peart replied.

"How much were you going to get for this?" RM Tie asked him.

"Four thousand British pounds (J$743,000)," said Peart.

"Your fingerprints will be taken today. You will be brought back here on November 3," said RM Tie, before Peart was eventually taken back into custody.

A Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) private and three other men accused of robbing a Rubis petrol station in Port Morant, St Thomas, were granted bail after they appeared in the Yallahs Resident Magistrate's Court on Friday.

Private Chiwale Lindsay, 25, from Port Morant, who is accused of being the mastermind behind the robbery, was granted $500,000 bail. He is barred from living in St Thomas and is expected to report to the Duhaney Park Police Station and observe a curfew from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Curfew

Lindsay has been ordered to turn over his travel documents and a stop order has been placed at all ports of exit.

His co-accused, Omar McHardy, 18, was granted $350,000 bail, with the condition to report to the Franklyn Town Police Station, and to observe a curfew from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily. Doshane Mitchell, 18, and a 17-year-old boy were granted $450,000 bail each and are also to report to the Franklyn Town Police Station and observe the curfew.

Allegations are that on September 5, 2014, two armed men robbed the station's supervisor and cashier of approximately $100,000, before escaping in a grey station wagon.

A car fitting that description was intercepted on the Lyssons main road with the four accused on board. A preliminary search revealed two 9mm pistols with 12 live rounds. The men were taken into custody and another search revealed $67,000.00 in cash. The men are to return to court on November 28, 2014.
