The heavy arm of the law came down on domestic violence when jail time was imposed on a man who beat his wife with a rolling pin during a family dispute.
Forty-three-year-old Collin Millington appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Monday charged with unlawful wounding.
He admitted to the court that he beat his wife with a rolling pin on May 5, 2018 at their Austin Street, Campbellville, Georgetown home.
According to Police Prosecutor Arvin Moore, Millington is in the habit of beating his wife when angered.
On the day of the incident, someone told Millington that his wife was allegedly having an affair and as such, he picked up a rolling pin from the kitchen and dealt the woman several blows to her body.
The matter was reported to the Police, and Millington was arrested and charged.
He was jailed for 18 months by Magistrate Latchman.
