A MAN who beat his wife after she threatened to walk out on him appeared before the court yesterday and pleaded guilty.
Demetrius Jadoo will return to court next year when the magistrate is expected to talk to his common law wife before delivering sentence.
Jadoo, 32 of San Fernando was charged with maliciously assaulting the woman in the early hours of yesterday morning at their home.
He admitted that he hit her several blows about her body and told the police, “I really beat she because she tell meh she wanted to leave.â€
The two have a one year old daughter.
Defence attorney Ainsley Lucky told the court that Jadoo went out to pick up car parts and ended up in a lime. He said his client drank one beer. When he got home, Lucky said, Jadoo had an argument with the woman and he struck her.
Lucky said his client was semi reclusive and he came from a broken home as his parents divorced when he was eight years old.
Magistrate Brambhanan Dubay placed Jadoo on his own bail of $3,000 and ordered that he return to court on January 20.
On that day the 29-year-old victim is expected to be present.
