A mother-of-two admitted attacking her estranged husband repeatedly over the course of a week.

Deborah Gittons, 34, pleaded guilty in June to three charges of assault one that caused actual bodily harm and wilfully damaging property.

The St. George's resident was issued a 24-month conditional discharge this week, and ordered to stay away from Grafton Gittons by Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner.

Gittons' lawyer Llewellyn Peniston said the incidents were the result of an unhealthy marriage.

"This is clearly a relationship that has gone south. The strain between them came after a string of infidelities.

"She let her emotions get out of control," he said.

In June, Crown counsel Cindy Clarke told the court that the attacks happened after Mr. Gittons moved out of the family home.

She said the defendant went to the St. George's Bus Depot where Mr. Gittons worked as a driver on June 19. When she found him she unleashed a stream of verbal abuse and followed him inside a parked bus.

Gittons then reportedly punched and slapped her husband, tearing his uniform in the process.

On June 23, Gittons saw Mr. Gittons at St. David's Primary School. She confronted him again, hitting him repeatedly in front of a group of schoolchildren until teachers ordered them both off the property.

As Mr. Gittons was getting on his motorcycle to leave, the defendant allegedly threatened to kill him.

Gittons was arrested and questioned in relation to both incidents and released.

Minutes later, as she was driving away from the Police Station in her jeep, she saw Mr. Gittons travelling in the opposite direction.

She then steered her car into his lane, causing Mr. Gittons to slam on his brakes before she returned to her correct side of the road.

Gittons pleaded guilty to the offences in June however Mr. Warner delayed sentencing for a Social Inquiry Report.

Mr. Peniston highlighted his client's previously clean record however Ms Clarke argued that the court should not be too lenient as one of the attacks occurred in front of students.

"There is no excuse for exposing children to that kind of violence," she said. "Given the current social problems we are experiencing an assault in front of schoolchildren cannot be tolerated."

After he issued the conditional discharge, Mr. Warner warned Gittons: "You must stop beating your husband. It's not funny."
