Biscayne man pleads guilty to wounding and using threatening words to his wife

By BBN Staff: A Biscayne resident received a fine in court this week after pleading guilty to wounding and using threatening words to his wife, who had already gotten out a protection order against him.

Geovanni Dion Casimiro, 37, appeared in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court after a dispute with his wife 29-year-old, Marcella Casimiro on the Crooked Tree Junction road, turned physical.

The wife says that, during the argument, he pushed her to the ground which caused some injuries, and threatened to kill her.

Casimiro accepted the facts but said that with respect to the threatening words, he was being misquoted. He stressed that he told her if she was not the mother of his children he would have killed her already; however, the magistrate explained to him that the threats amount to the same thing.

He was fined $150 plus $5 cost of court for the threatening words, and $1,500 plus another $5 cost of court for the wounding. Casimiro has until September 17, 2021, to pay the first fine in default, one-week imprisonment and he has until November 26, 2021, to pay the wounding fine in default, 3 months in jail.

With respect to the violation of the protection order which was in effect for the period March 17, 2021, to November 16, 2021, he was sentenced in Family Court, where the matter is confidential.
