Broke wife's nose in fight

A man who broke his wife's nose after he allegedly caught her with another man was yesterday given a suspended jail term.

The man attacked his wife at about 9 p.m. on Monday in their Fgura flat during a violent fight about her alleged infidelity, sources close to the case said.

The unemployed man in his 30s, who is not being named to protect the identity of his wife, pleaded guilty to seriously injuring, threatening her and breaching the peace.

In submissions on punishment, lawyer Charmaine Cherrett said her client had cooperated with the police.

Police Inspector Alexander Grech asked the court to hand down a punishment that matched the severity of the case.

Magistrate Joseph Apap Bologna took into consideration the fact that the man will be living with his mother before handing down a two-year jail term suspended for four years.

The magistrate also placed his wife under a protection order and ordered him to sign a guarantee of €1,000.
