A 28-year-old hairdresser, Tawana Hamlet, from Ann’s Grove on the East Coast Demerara, has been charged with multiple counts of causing grievous bodily harm. One of the charges pertains to an incident involving a four-year-old girl.
Hamlet was taken into custody on June 15, 2025, with formal charges laid against her two days later by officers at the Cove and John Police Station. The allegations relate to an incident involving 26-year-old Tyrese Brandon Boucher and his young daughter, reportedly occurring on the same day as her arrest.
The charges were filed under Section 50 of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
On June 17, 2025, Hamlet appeared in court before Her Worship Orinthia Schmidt, where she pleaded not guilty to the charges. She was granted bail set at $80,000 for each count.
The case has been adjourned and will be revisited on July 13, 2025, for further reports and statements.
The Guyana Police Force has confirmed these details in an official statement.
