Jack Wright, a 66-year-old Briton who lives in Ghajnsielem, was granted bail today after having been accused of grievously injuring his wife, also British, on New Year's Eve.
The incident happened at their home in the early evening.
The woman suffered a head injury and had been in danger of dying. She was airlifted to Mater Dei Hospital for intensive treatment and her condition has since improved.
Magistrate Anthony Ellul is heading an inquiry.
Bail was granted against a personal guarantee of €10,000.
