On Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2018, the daughter and victim, her elderly father, attended police headquarters to report assaults against him. The daughter had discovered that the bruising the victim was frequently suffering from was as a result of the accused, his neighbour, assaulting him.

The accused woman was located at her residence and arrested. The 52-year-old local woman is charged with assault.
