A WOMAN has been found guilty of criminal intimidation by the Nausori Magistrate’s Court for threatening her former daughter-in-law with a knife.
Magistrate Samanunu Vaniqi convicted the woman following the evidence presented by the victim and an eyewitness. The court heard that on January 7, 2024, at Bau, the woman advanced toward the victim with a raised knife, screaming at her to return to Australia and threatening to kill her.
Magistrate Vaniqi held that the prosecution successfully proved beyond reasonable doubt that the woman intended to cause alarm by threatening the victim with injury and death.
