Cheating husband lashes
out at wife
Nushupik Kilabuk, 36, was
sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to assault with a weapon,
mischief and violating the conditions of an undertaking.
The complainant found her
husband "involved" with another woman on Aug. 14, at the couples
Iqaluit home, the court heard.
After exchanging heated
words, Kilabuk threw a chair at his wife and then waved a hammer at her, said
Crown lawyer Judy Chan. Their eight-year-old son was home at the time.
A week later, Kilabuk smashed
the two front windows of the house where the woman was living. On both nights,
the woman and her child sought refuge at the womens shelter.
Justice Beverley Browne
sentenced Kilabuk to five months in jail for the chair-throwing and 60 days
for the broken windows. Hell spend one year on probation upon his release
from BCC.
