An elderly woman who attacked a woman less than half her age with stones and threaten to harm her if she did not leave her man was fined $2,000 or 10 days in the Petty Session Court at the Spanish Town RM Court on Wednesday.

Maltilda Simpson, 64, opened her mouth wide when she was found guilty of threat and assault by Lay Magistrates Kenneth Burton and Phillip Reeves.

The court was told that in early April, Simpson accosted the 30-year-old complainant, who she learnt was having sexual relations with her common-law husband whom the court learnt is call 'Brown Man'.

Simspson, the court heard, started to attack the younger woman with stones and then threatened her saying, "Mi ago du yu sinting if yu no lef mi man alone.''

The complainant went to the authorities and took out a summons which was served on Simpson.

She denied threatening the complainant when the matter got under way, but after hearing the testimony of the complainant and summing up the sequence of events, the lay magistrates found Simspon guilty.
