Woman Uses Pot Cover To Hit Grandmother; Brought Before Court
Yonique Webb, a woman who is accused of using a pot cover to hit her 78-year-old grandmother, appeared before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday, where she faced the charge of assault occasioning bodily harm.
The court heard that on the day in question, the grandmother and the accused woman’s boyfriend had an argument. The accused then came along and allegedly used a pot cover to slap her grandmother on the shoulder.
The accused woman’s father was in court yesterday, and along with the accused, they challenged the complainant’s version of the incident. According to him, the complainant wanted to ‘control the yard’, and on many occasions, referred to the accused as a ‘jacket’.
The judge ordered that the entire family receive counselling from the probation department. They are to return to court on April 29.
