NAKED WOMAN WHO HIT GIRLFRIEND WITH BROOM HANDLE IN DRUNKEN STREET ATTACK ESCAPES PUNISHMENT
A Blairgowrie woman who attacked her partner with a broom handle and threatened to kill her has been given six months to prove she can stay out of trouble.Police were called to a disturbance at Jacqueline Mathieson’s Glenalmond Road home in the early hours of May 11.
Officers found her partner in a state of distress outside and49-year-old Mathieson in her bedroom.
She told police: “I meant to hit her with the broom handle and if she gets me done, I don’t care.
“I’m going to… kill her.
I could stab her quite happily.
“You better get her out of here before I kill her.” Mathieson appeared at Perth Sheriff Court and admitted assault and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner that was likely to cause fear or alarm.
Her solicitor Mike Tavendale said his client had been a “victim of gaslighting”, explaining she had been manipulated by psychological means, to the extent she had started to doubt her own sanity.
He told the court Mathieson had been a carer for vulnerable adults for about 11 years, and was a first time offender.
“It’s highly unlikely she is going to appear before the court again,” he said.
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis deferred sentence for six months for Mathieson to prove she could be of good behaviour
