Kerina Eugene charged yesterday for Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) of her 15-year-old niece Chelsea Bruno

​For some days now Q95’s Host Matt Peltier has been raising the issue of the abuse of 15-year-old Chelsea Bruno, reported to have occurred on March 17, 2018, allegedly at the hands of her aunt, Karenna Eugene.
 
According to Freelance Journalist Carlisle Jno Baptiste, Kerina Eugene of Belles has been arrested and charged for causing grievous bodily harm to the 15-year-old who is also her niece. The incident took place on March 17, 2018 when the victim was allegedly burnt.
 
Eugene who is pregnant appeared before magistrate Bernard Pacquette yesterday where the charge was read to her.  She was not required to plea since the matter is an indictable offence.
 
The prosecution led by Sergeant Davidson Cadette first objected to bail, but having then learnt that Eugene was pregnant, withdrew that application on humanitarian grounds.
 
Bail was set in the amount of XCD$12,000 with the preliminary inquiry set for September 6, 2018. Eugene is represented by Attorney at Law Julien Prevost.
 
Freelance Journalist Carlisle Jno Baptiste has more on that matter.
