Woman fakes unconsciousness
to end assault
Pingoatuk Kolola, 32, was
sentenced to 45 days in jail and one year of probation after pleading guilty
to one count of assault.
Kolola punched, kicked
and stomped on the wrists of his girlfriend before starting to choke her on
Aug. 17.
Alcohol was a factor, the
court heard.
The woman pretended to
pass out and only then did Kolola stop choking her, said Crown lawyer Judy Chan.
Kolola fled the house and
was later arrested.
Defence lawyer Euan Makay
said his clients relationship with the woman is over and Kolola plans
to move back to Kimmirut.
