Man Slaps Wife With Machete & Almost Bites Off Her Nipple
Desmond Pallache, who used a machete to slap his wife several times and bit her on her breast, almost completely detaching her nipple, was sentenced earlier today in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court to 30 days in prison.
The complainant told the court that the accused had filed for divorce and they were separated. She said they had a dispute, and that the accused later came into her room with a machete, tore off her blouse and slapped her with the machete across the shoulder. She said she fell to the ground and he continued hitting her with the machete. She said she bit him in a bid to escape, and he in turn bit her on one of he nipples, almost completely detaching it. Neighbors then came to her rescue.
He was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, and begged for a chance in court yesterday, after hearing that he could face up to three years in prison for what he had done.
