WAR WIDOW AVOIDS JAIL AFTER VIOLENT ATTACK ON HUSBAND
A war widow named Christina Schmid, aged 49, has avoided jail after assaulting her second husband, Adam Plumb, in their £1.5 million home in Newton Abbot.Schmid was found guilty of attacking Mr.
Plumb by hitting, kicking, and biting him during a violent row fueled by alcohol.
The incident occurred after she followed him upstairs, struck him in a rage, and was heard shouting and biting him.
She was convicted at Newton Abbot Magistrates' Court, receiving a 12-week suspended sentence and a two-year restraining order.
Mr.
Plumb described the event as life-changing and expressed that Schmid showed no remorse.
During the assault, she also cut her nose with her nails and blew her nose on his T-shirt.
Pictures of her bite mark on Mr.
Plumb and his injuries were presented in court.
The court also viewed a video of the incident where Mr.
Plumb called her a 'disgusting woman,' and she accused him of blackmailing her over her phone.
Christina Schmid’s first husband, Staff Sergeant Olaf ‘Oz’ Schmid, was killed defusing a Taliban bomb in 2009, and she became a figurehead for war bereavement issues, even receiving the George Cross from the late Queen.
She later dated and married property developer Adam, living together in Devon.
Schmid also campaigned for better pensions and higher salaries for armed forces personnel.
