The accused was charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and possession of a weapon following an altercation outside a nightclub where his estranged wife was slashed in the face with a knife, requiring 46 stitches.
The court weighed conflicting witness testimony, rejecting the accused's claim that an unknown man accidentally cut the victim while trying to attack him.
Finding the Crown witnesses credible and the accused's version a fabrication, the court convicted the accused on all counts.
