Man Punches Uncle’s Babymother During Argument Over Soap
Adrian Dehaney appeared before the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate’s Court recently, where he was given a suspended sentence for punching his uncle’s babymother in her face during an argument over her washtub and washing soap.
The court heard that the two had an argument on January 26, when she saw him using her washtub and washing soap without her permission. During the argument, he reportedly punched her in the left eye, causing it to bleed. Dehaney tried to explain to the court that he had lashed out after she had approached him from behind.
On the charge of unlawful wounding, he was sentenced to 12 months at hard labour suspended for 12 months, but he also faces a malicious destruction charge, which will be heard in court on March 10. He was offered bail in the sum of $5000 in his own surety.
