When Kenton Jolly appeared before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Friday, a no order was made and he was sent home.

Jolly, who pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding, told the court that he had to defend himself when the complainant attacked him.

He explained that the complainant had been having an affair with his woman and he wanted to find out what was going on. "Your honour, him and my woman having an affair for months and I talk to her about it and it was only right that I speak to him too. One day, I went to his house to ask him about it and, your honour, mi a tell you, the man just start 'tump' and kick me, all mi hear a 'bluff', 'blaff', 'bluff', 'blaff' and just so the man a send on lick and kick so mi did haffi defend myself with mi knife, so a da way deh him get cut."

After the accused pleaded his case, Resident Magistrate Glen Brown addressed the matter by saying that the matter is beyond him and if the complainant wanted to sue Jolly for the injuries he sustained, he would have to go to the Supreme Court.
