An assault case against Neville Davis was yesterday thrown out of the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court after the complainant expressed her desire to not pursue the matter any further.

Allegations in the case are the the accused went to the shop of the complainant, Alga Farquharson, his ex-girlfriend, to purchase goods. While there, both parties got into a fight during which blows were exchanged.

Davis was subsequently arrested and charged. Before the matter was dismissed, the complainant sought to clear the air, stating that she only bit the accused because he hit her.

The accused man's attorney said that both parties were apologetic about the situation and wanted to amicably move forward. The lawyer related that the relationship between both had ended earlier this year before the incident occurred.
