Robeson Benn Jr. has been arrested by the police, following allegations that he assaulted his ex – girlfriend, 27-year old Vanisha Seenauth.
According to information received, the young man turned himself over to the police today, June 25. He is currently at the Brickdam Police Station. Benn Jr. is the son of Minister of Public Works, Robeson Benn.
The physical assault against the young woman has left her with a swollen right eye and tender head.
According to the woman, Benn Jr. barged into her home during the pre-dawn hours of Sunday and assaulted her.
She said that on hearing someone knock on the door, she opened thinking that it was her brother whom she had been expecting. However, it was Benn Jr. who stormed in and started his ruthless attack.
Seenauth said police at Brickdam Police station declined to take a report immediately although she had obtained a medical certificate from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Earlier this year, Seenauth had a miscarriage of she and Benn Jr’s baby after he allegedly kicked her several months ago at her home. During that incident, she had stabbed him once at her home resulting in him being hospitalized for several days at the GPHC.
