Man beats wife’s paramour, lands in court

Jun 23, 2009 News

Forty-seven-year old Mark Woolford, of 148 Cato Street, Agricola, was yesterday ordered to pay a fine of $45,000 or spend 18 months’ imprisonment, after he pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm.
Woolford, appearing before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, pleaded guilty to assaulting Julius Arthur causing him actual bodily harm.
The assault occurred on June 4, at Agricola.
According to the defendant, the entire argument stemmed from an earlier altercation with Arthur.
Woolford said that he is familiar with Arthur because the latter had a relationship with Woolford’s wife.
“I saw him and we started arguing and I saw that he was going to his waist, so I knock he before he could have injured me” Woolford explained. However Police Prosecutor Denise Griffith told the court that her facts differ. She said that Arthur had a relationship with the defendant’s wife and Woolford demanded an apology. The prosecutor said that Arthur apologised, but Woolford was not satisfied with the apology and began beating the complainant.
According to the prosecutor, the virtual complainant had to seek refuge in a nearby yard. The matter was later reported and the defendant was arrested and charged with the present offence.
