Two Witnesses Jailed for Six Months Over False Testimony in Wife-Assault Claim

Two witnesses have been sentenced to six months in prison after falsely testifying that they saw a man assault his wife, in a case that moved from family court to a misdemeanor court.

The witnesses had given their accounts during proceedings before the family court, identifying the husband as having attacked his wife.

The husband challenged their testimony, maintaining that the two had falsely accused him of carrying out the assault.

The disclosure of his whereabouts at the time of the alleged incident exposed the false testimony and led to a separate criminal case against the witnesses.

The available account does not specify where the husband was at the time or provide details of the evidence used to establish his location.
