Dec 08, 2018 News

A heated domestic dispute resulted in Ivor Gillis receiving a two-year jail sentence for maliciously assaulting his reputed wife.
Ivor Gillis pleaded guilty to the charge which alleged that on November 26, 2018 at Middle Road La Penitence, he unlawfully and maliciously assaulted Keron Blaze with intent to mane, disfigure or disable.
Facts of the charge stated that on the day in question around 20:15 hrs Blaze came home from work and was relaxing in a chair. Gillis then asked to speak with her concerning a domestic issue; however Gillis left and went to the bath.
As Blaze came out of the bath, Gillis took a pair of scissor and dealt her several stabs to her body causing injuries. Blaze who sustained well over 10 stab wounds was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
She further experienced very low blood pressure as to the pain from the laceration which could be life threatening.
Gillis was contacted by the police and was told of the accusations where he admitted to the offence under caution. As a result he was charged.
Blaze who appeared in court for the hearing had to drag her body to be able to stand before the magistrate. She showed the magistrate her wounds and as a result the magistrate sought an explanation from Gillis what moved him to commit such a gruesome act.
“This thing going on long. I talk to she long and she ain’t listening. This is because of an affair she had with someone which we took counselling for,” he said
The magistrate then responded by letting Gillis know that he cannot take the law into his own hands and therefore he will have to take account for his act. Gillis was sentenced to two years imprisonment during which he will receive counselling.
