A pastor and two other members of
his family, including his wife, were
released on EC$5,000 (One Ec
dollar =US$0.37 cents) bail each
after they appeared in court on
Friday, April 22 on a charge of
unlawfully and maliciously
inflicting grievous bodily harm on
a man.
Pastor Nigel Morgan, his wife
Althea, an office clerk and their
daughter, Crystal, poured hot water
on Cuthbert Victory, a mason, as
part of a “spiritual warfare” on
April 9 in Marriaqua, St. Vincent,
Jamaica. The three are reported to
have held down Victory while their
daughter poured the boiling water
on his back.
A video of the incident has been
posted on the social network,
Facebook, showing that it took place
in a drain along the public road in
Hopewell, Mesopotamia, near the
home of the pastor.
The 37-year-old mason, suffered
burns to his back, shoulders, chest
and face. He said he had been told
by doctors that he suffered first-
degree burns and that the water
that was poured on him was mixed
with oil.
The trio, appeared before Chief
Magistrate, Rechanne Browne-
Matthias at the Serious Offence
Court in Kingstown. They pleaded
not guilty and will re-appear in the
Mesopotamia Magistrate’s Court in
Marriaqua, on April 29.
“I hope you all make enough money
— you hear?” said Morgan, as
photographers too the picture of
the family as they left the court
building. “I hope you all give an
offering to all the churches,” he
added.
Attorney Kay Bacchus-Browne told
CMC on Friday that her clients have
a good defense.
“It is not like what you see going
around on social media where it is
being said that the three of them
joined together. It is not like that at
all,” Bacchus-Browne said.
Morgan had earlier told CMC that
the incident was ‘a spiritual
warfare. “This is a spiritual
warfare. It is in the hands of God
and he will fight and he will
deliver,” he had said then.
