ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Three women found themselves on the opposite side of the law following a cat-fight among them on September 14, 2015 in Long Bush and as a result were charged with wounding and in one case threatening language. 

They appeared before Magistrate Ayana Baptiste-DaBreo today April 22, 2016 and have to return to court in June for commencement of their trials.

Joanne Henry, Paulette Codner and Kimora Reid were charged with wounding. Reid was also charged with threatening language.

The court heard that on September 14, 2015 at Long Bush, Reid unlawfully wounded Paulette Codner. She pleaded not guilty.

It is alleged that Paulette Codner on September 14, 2015 at Long Bush wounded Joanne Henry. She did not plea to the charge.

Kimora Reid on September 14, 2015 is alleged to have used threatening language in Long Bush against Joanne Henry, saying, “I gon kill her." Unrepresented in court, Reid pleaded not guilty.

Reid was also charged with wounding for allegedly hitting Henry on the head with a piece of wood on September 14, 2015 in Long Bush. She also pleaded not guilty, being unrepresented by a lawyer.

Fight ensues following dispute over stones!

According to the Prosecution, on September 14, 2015 at approximately 12:40 pm, Joanne Henry was at her residence, along with her husband Jason Henry. Paulette Codner was in the same yard talking to Kimora Reid. The court heard that while there Codner called out to Joanne's husband Jason and had a conversation with him, accusing Joanne Henry of removing stones placed in the yard to prevent flooding.

Joanne Henry is said to have joined the conversation uninvited and a confrontation ensued between her and Codner. 

The court heard that during the confrontation Joanne Henry allegedly bit Codner on the forehead and Codner allegedly bit Henry on the right breast.

Jason Henry is said to have pulled the two women apart and it was observed that a piece of flesh from Codner’s forehead was completely removed.

Reid is said to have intervened at that point by allegedly hitting Joanne Henry with a piece of wood causing injury to her head. Another person is said to have disarmed Reid.

The court heard that when Joanne Henry went into her home, Kimora Reid then threw stones on the roof of the House and continued running around the house shouting, “I gon kill you.”

According to the Prosecution, at 1:03pm the same day, Codner and her daughter Reid went to the Road Town Police Station where it was observed that Paulette Codner had a wound over her left eye which bled profusely. She later went to Peebles Hospital. On that same day Joanne Henry went to the Road Town Police Station. She was observed to have sustained several injuries and was later taken to Peebles Hospital for treatment.

They were all placed on $30,000 signed bail and all three are to report to the Road Town Police Station on Wednesdays between the hours of 6:00 am and 6:00 pm.

Reid and Henry were made to surrender their passports as part of the conditions for signed bail.

    Those women should be ashamed of themselves. Shame on them, fighting over stones?????. They are at the age where they should be setting good examples not childish negative behavior. If my mother who I respect was involve in something like that, I would have given her a serious tongue lashing. And no not the disrespectful tongue lashing. But I would have set her stright.That don't look good, grown women fighting over nonsense.
