SAFETY FIRST

Take care of your feet and spend five years in jail:
A 28-year-old man has been sentenced to more than five years jail in the Northern Territory for breaking his wife's jaw during a drunken argument.

Albert Miller pleaded guilty in the Northern Territory Supreme Court to causing his wife grievous harm during the assault, which occurred in their home in the community of Lajamanu, south-west of Katherine.

During the attack, Miller stopped to put on his steel capped boots before he kicked his wife in the head.

The court heard Miller had previous convictions for assaulting his wife and had also been convicted in the Magistrates Court for assaulting her again after this incident.
While the argument time-out was called the wife put in her mouthguard; at least she still has her teeth.
