A father and son duo who faced the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's court on Monday were temporarily separated, as the father was remanded in custody while the son had his bail extended.

The accused, Denzil and Theodore Simmonds, are each charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and malicious destruction of property.

Denzil was remanded while Theodore was given until July 20 to make full restitution to the complainant when the matter is expected to be mentioned again.

An amount of $8,000 was paid to the complainant in court, leaving an outstanding balance of $6,500.

At the same time, the complainant told the court, the accused men kept prolonging the restitution payments.

In response to the complainant's claim, Denzil told the court that his son only earns a small salary from his job, however, the court insisted that full payment be made by the next mention date.

The court had heard that on January 21 at 6:30 p.m., Denzil and Theodore had a dispute with the complainant which escalated into a fight.

The complainant was reportedly beaten all over her body causing bruises and swelling to her face and head.

Theodore then reportedly destroyed the complainant's television and Denzil reportedly destroyed her bedroom door valued at $2,500 and other valuable items bringing the total damages to $10,000.
