Man Remanded, Admits Assaulting His Wife
Aswad Wilson pleaded guilty to unlawfully assaulting his wife and uttering threatening words to her, and was remanded into custody until next month while a Social Inquiry Report is prepared.
Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Cindy Clarke told the Senior Magistrate that starting around 1:00am on 3rd October, the 29-year-old had begun beating his wife and that during the course of the beating, the yelling and shouting had woken their two year-old son who had screamed for them to stop.
Ms Clarke said that the assault had continued and had moved into and through the kitchen and bathroom; that at times Mr Wilson had a stranglehold on his wife; and that by grabbing and dragging at her hair, he had pulled several chunks of hair from her scalp. His wife finally managed to get away to a neighbor’s house and Police were called.
Police arrested Mr Wilson who subsequently admitted the assault. His wife was taken to KEMH where was treated for bruises and abrasions and other things.
In Court this morning [Oct 4], Mr Wilson said that he was sorry. He told the Magistrate: “I can’t believe I done that. I’ve apologized to my wife and son.” The Magistrate replied that his past record showed that he was a bully.

Hmmmm, glad police helped in this situation because I was left and told its a “domestic issue”!
Mmm…same here. My then 10 y.o. child was put in hospital for 3 days due to the father’s rage…got a court date only to be thrown out cause it was over a year later!!
Gotta love how stuff is phrased in legal jargon. “unlawfully assaulting”.
Under what situation might one lawfully assault somebody?
I was wondering the same thing……
Google broken?
Someone might lawfully assault another person if there is consent. For example, if you’re playing rugby voluntarily, you are consenting to the other players tackling you in accordance with the rules of the game. Another example would be in a hospital…you sign a waver to confirm that you consent to the needles being stuck in you, etc.
Unlawful assault is as described in the Criminal Code of course, i.e. threatening or touching another person, etc. It sounds like this might well qualify as the ‘unlawful’ kind…
If I had to guess…
Self-defense?
I could be wrong…
Self-defense or defense of another is grounds for lawful assault.
@Triangle Drifter
I believe that if someone is in the process of unlawfully assaulting you that you may lawfully assault them in order to encourage them cease their unlawful assault.

One example is a police officer who, in the execution of his duty, may have to physically restrain someone who is violently resisting arrest. The officer is authorized to use force only as much as is reasonably necessary to overcome said resistance. That can be considered an assault which is lawful.
Her “uttered threatening words”, what cow he must me!
What a loser. This must be the 20th one this week alone.
LOSER!!!….hope she throws ya @** out on de street!
If that was my daughter,you’d be feeding sharks.
On remand for a month….GOOD…she has a whole month to pack his S#&T and put his a## out!!!….Really???? too much of these men that think this is okay……I wish a motherF***** would!!!!!!!
There’s ALOT of shark chum walking the streets these days. Wolves in sheeps clothing I say. Greeting people with “Good Morning Auntie” and the like. Wait till there tails get home after a night out on “THE CHIVAS” and behind closed doors their wives see the real deal!
You all would want shut the f#*! up! Its a#*!#holes like you that never get it right! Two sides to story and most of you will never know and to them that’s talking about sharkbait you are already food for the slaughter! Bunch of gossipers chatty mouths busibodies!
@fire burn so agree!! You all don’t even know the half! Quick you to talk a whole bunch of BS!!! All I’m going to say is that a person can only take so much..
MY opinion like others on this page is based on what is printed here…..nothing more nothing less…….if there is more to the story and it was made available then maybe our opinions would be different…..but for know our opinions remain the same….maybe his behavior (as it states he has bullied in the past) would change if people like you stop condoning ignorant behavior…..
He beat up a woman in front if a two year old. He sounds like a p**** to me. Even his name is a** wad.
For the record the correct pronunciation is “Us-Wahd. Dummy !!
Well it’s spelled a** wad. And that what he is.
Lmao a person can only take so much. So its ok to beat your wife once you’ve had enough? How about divorce or moving out. Its no wonder he has a history of violent behavior his family supports this ignorance. I hope his son doesn’t grow to br just like his dad
@ fire burn & @wilsonfamily, you both need to shut the hell up! I grew up with Aswad and he’s been a trouble maker from young so stop it with the BS! Don’t condone his acts cause your family, wrong is wrong and he deserves to be exactly where he is! Str8 up
Magistrate said, ” his past record showed that he was a bully”…there ya go. And I would tend to think the magistrate might be right. I think yer goose is cooked, buddy. Straighten up and fly right, boy.
What about your past record ?cause I know it aint perfect!
what happens when the wife attacks him with a machete?
He should have pressed charges….
With what? No arms. That means he only had time to defend himself dummy!
Then his a** should leave or call the cops like she did! F** dummy
he probably should add another “S” to his name.
And add another Big “S” to yours too navin what kinda name is that sounds suspect to me
I’m so glad to see women reporting this and calling the Police, too much bullies out there who call themselves men and think abusing and beating their wives and women is ok. The worst cases are those of foreign women, who when they report the cases of abuse to Women’s Resource Center or Center Against Abuse and the police are quickly toss divorce papers and Immigration is asked to boot them off the island, which they happily do even when the evidence is staring them in their face. Guess Immigration and others supports Bermuda bullies to live another day to bully someone else girl child.
Is this the week for beating up on your wife!
Been married more than 35 years – never had the will to hit my wife.
If I ever get the urge to beat my wife I will simply leave her!
It’s good to see that some women are finally following through and pressing charges.
(God help the guy who attempts to hit my daughter!)
My husband has never had the will to put his hands on me either or ever considered beating me in any sort but I think if I persisted on more than one occassion with attacking him with weapons maybe just maybe he might retaliate …a person can only endure so much before they snap so who is the bully now ??? Cause if you think a woman can’t take you out,you are living in a dream world
Shut the hell up and stop condoning the BS!
You shut the hell up, nobody is condoning anything there are mere facts here and the fact remains that any one has the ability to snap at any given time but it seems to me you are condoning the shenanigans that he had to put up with
Exactly!!! If anybody knew him they would know that he would never put his hands on a woman! So before any of you c**** try to judge know all ya facts! No, it wasn’t right what he done but…….
