Women police officer beat up by angry wife

We’re not sure if it’s because of a commonly perceived “man shortage” or a result of more equality between the sexes … but it seems that we are seeing an increase in woman on woman violence. The latest case involves an incident that occurred shortly after midnight on July twenty-first. According to court reports, Woman Police Constable Alice Gillett was on duty, standing in front of the Queen Street Police Station, talking to her fellow officer Inspector Santiago Ciau. Suddenly Ciau’s wife, Bernadette Ciau, appeared on the scene and attacked Gillett, pulling her to the ground by her hair and punching her a number of times. Mrs. Ciau was formally arraigned today by Magistrate Margaret Gabb on charges of Aggravated Assault and Harm. She pleaded not guilty and made bail of one thousand dollars. The matter was adjourned until August twenty-fourth.
