Man remanded again for assaulting elderly mum

A 63-year-old man who admitted slapping his 83-year-old mother and twice pouring water on her has been further remanded to Dodds Prison.

Jefferson Paul Nathaniel Ellis, of Harmony Hall, St Lawrence, Christ Church, appeared before Magistrate Jared Richards in the District ‘A’ Traffic Court after pleading guilty last month to assaulting his mother on September 26.

The court heard that the two had lived together for more than four decades. During that time, Ellis became addicted to cannabis and alcohol and was aggressive towards his mother when intoxicated.
