Gillian Pender, wife of St Mary’s window-cleaner David, was given a two-year community service order on Wednesday after hitting him over the head with a glass-topped coffee table - but says she will not be returning to the Islands.
Pender was sentenced at Truro Crown Court for assaulting David and niece Ann Marie Bolitho, who suffered a broken nose, after a drinking session on April 24, according to The Cornishman newspaper.
Her Counsel, Timothy Hills, told the court that she had decided to rent a flat in Penzance and would receive treatment to deal with alcohol and anger management issues.
“She realises there is a problem as far as drink is concerned. There are likely to be further problems if she stays on the Islands,” he said.
