Oh — it’s Wales. That explains it.
Ynysddu Man Made Threat to Kill Hostess Over Music at BBQ
South Wales Argus | 9th February | Iwan Gabe Davies
A man threatened to kill the hostess of a barbecue he had been invited to after violence flared over the choice of music being played.
Jace Walsh got involved in a fight at the social gathering held at the home of his friends Richard and Lorna Cochrane in Ynysddu, between Blackwood and Risca.
Prosecutor Martha Smith-Higgins said: “He came out into the street with a six to seven-inch bread knife and shouted at Mrs Cochrane, ‘I’m going to f****** kill Shane and you.’
“Mr Cochrane hugged him in an effort to distract him and a neighbour took the knife from him and put it in a bin.”
“The defendant was described as being drunk and unpredictable.”
The defendant was jailed for 15 months but that sentence was suspended for two years.
Walsh will have to carry out 160 hours of unpaid work and complete an eight-day rehabilitation activity requirement.
He must pay £720 prosecution costs and a £156 victim surcharge.
Oddly, the article never explains what the music dispute was all about.
