NASSAU-A man who threatened and battered his wife after accusing her of an incestuous affair has been sentenced to probation for one year.
The 63-year-old man pleaded guilty to threats of death and assault when he appeared before a magistrate.
The court heard that the senior citizen grabbed his wife by the neck and punched her about the body because he thought she was sleeping with her brother.
During the assault, the man told his wife, “I’ll f****** kill you.”
In mitigation, defence lawyer Philip Hilton suggested that alcohol abuse contributed to his client’s actions.
Magistrate Kara Turnquest-Deveaux sentenced the man to probation for one year. She also ordered him to attend anger management and substance abuse classes.
A probation breach will result in a one-year prison sentence.
