SOURCE-POINTE XPRESS30-year-old man sentenced to prison for battery on a woman

Thirty-year-old Grays Farm man – Randy Daniel – has been sentenced to a prison term of seven months and 27 days when he was found guilty of battery on a woman with whom he had a relationship.

Daniel appeared in the Magistrate’s Court on Thursday to answer charges related to beating the woman of Bolans. He was charged with violating Section 22 of the Offences Against the Person Act.

The court heard that Daniel hit her with a folded fist to the left side of her face and eye. He also hit her on her left leg with a perfume bottle.

She reported that she was beaten about her body and in the process sustained broken nails.

The court also accepted evidence submitted by the prosecution that included a Medical Report submitted by the police.

The woman declined an offer to return to the doctor for a follow-up visit on the basis that she was feeling okay. She told the court that she had returned to work after a few days of sick leave.

However, she was forced to wear make up to hide the black and blue marks around her left eye.

The court heard that the woman indicated to Daniel that she no longer wished to continue a relationship with him and that this was what triggered his violent behaviour towards her.
