A WOMAN who admitted to stabbing her boyfriend to the chest during a physical altercation at their residence on Rupert Dean Lane was fined yesterday.
Fritztina Thurston, 31, stabbed Kelron Smith, 27, to the left side of the chest with a knife during a fight after 12am on November 3.
Smith was taken to hospital, where he was successfully treated for his injuries.
Thurston pleaded guilty to causing harm before Magistrate Abigail Farrington.
While Magistrate found the defendant's remorse and early plea as mitigating factors, she found that the aggravating factors in this case was the use of a weapon and injuries sustained by the victim.
Thurston was ordered to pay a fine of $1,500 or risk six months in prison. She must also compensate the complainant $2,000 or risk three months in prison.
The accused returns to court for payment on her debt on November 26.
Reserve Inspector Deveaux prosecuted the case.
