A man who was allegedly doused with water his sister had reportedly used to wash her panties was brought before the court on assault charges yesterday.
Junior Belnavis of a Corporate Area address is charged with assault occasioning bodily harm.
When the matter was mentioned in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court, the Crown alleged that an altercation developed between the siblings after Belnavis' sister accused him of using her soap. During an argument in the bathroom, his sister allegedly used a cistern containing her 'panty water' to throw in his face, which led to him assaulting her.
The complainant also told the court that he was always going into her panty drawer to steal her money.
Another story
Belnavis, however, offered another story, he said that he went to use the shower and his sister assumed that he was going to use her soap.
After hearing the arguments of both siblings, Senior Resident Magistrate (RM) Judith Pusey became livid with the accused, who had appeared hot and bothered.
"You took it too far. It's a little panty water, it won't poison you," the RM said to him.
She then told him, "what if your brief water had touched her? You need to stop it!"
When the RM was about to fine him $10,000, his sister jumped in saying that she wanted the matter to be settled another way as they were always going to fight. The matter was set for intervention so that they could sort out their problems.
