A 31-year-old Crim­i­nal In­ves­ti­ga­tions De­part­ment (CID) de­tec­tive has been or­dered to stay 100 me­tres away from his wife and to re­frain from com­mu­ni­cat­ing with her via cell phone.

Kel­lon Em­manuel, of Quash Trace, San­gre Grande, who has 10 years’ ser­vice and was last at­tached to the Va­len­cia Po­lice Post CID, was giv­en the or­der as part of his sta­tion bail grant­ed by Jus­tice of the Peace Carl Dat­too.

Em­manuel is ex­pect­ed to ap­pear be­fore a San­gre Grande mag­is­trate to­day to an­swer to the charges.

He was charged by WPC Ar­reaza-Joseph, of the Gen­der-Based Vi­o­lence Unit (GB­VU), on Mon­day with chok­ing with in­tent to ren­der un­con­scious, as­sault by threats, and mis­use of an elec­tron­ic de­vice.

A po­lice re­lease said a woman was al­leged­ly at­tacked by her hus­band in De­cem­ber 2020.

Dur­ing the in­ci­dent, po­lice were told that dur­ing a do­mes­tic dis­pute, the woman was phys­i­cal­ly and ver­bal­ly abused.

It was al­so re­port­ed that on Au­gust 11, this year, while at a prayer meet­ing at a friend’s home, the woman’s hus­band al­leged­ly called her and made threats to­wards her.

GB­VU de­tec­tives in­ves­ti­gat­ed the re­ports fol­low­ing which Em­manuel was ar­rest­ed and charged with the of­fences.

The in­ves­ti­ga­tion was head­ed by Su­per­in­ten­dent Claire Guy-Al­leyne and su­per­vised by In­sp Bac­chus and Sgt Fe­lix of the GB­VU.
