A woman attacked in a Hamilton bar was accused of being "consumed'' with jealousy over her alleged attacker's relationship with her one-time fiance.

Nina Jacobs was hit in the face with a glass while at the Docksider bar on Front Street on May 27 last year following an argument with Shree Candace Cannonier.

Cannonier, who denies unlawfully wounding Ms Jacobs with intent to do grievous bodily harm, was involved in a relationship with Kenneth Maybury, the man at the centre of a love triangle involving the three.

The trial jury in Supreme Court yesterday heard that Ms Jacobs, a programme co-ordinator for Bermuda International Business Association, still had an "open'' relationship with Mr. Maybury, even though the pair no longer lived together and Mr. Maybury was seeing Cannonier.

The court heard Ms Jacobs, who lives in Pembroke and has a daughter by Mr.

Maybury, had obtained Cannonier's telephone number and found out she lived in Lighthouse Road, St. David's.

She also marked in her day planner at work the "strange occurrence'' of Cannonier coming to her apartment at 5 a.m. the previous year.

Cannonier's barrister Victoria Pearman said to Ms Jacobs: "You were consumed by my client's relationship with Mr. Maybury.'' She replied: "I would absolutely not agree. Mr. Maybury and I had a very good understanding. The only time it got intrusive is things like when he brought her to my house.'' Ms Pearman said: "At Docksiders you said you wanted to show her that she had changed nothing?'' Ms Jacobs replied: "Yes''.

Ms Pearman continued: "From the time you found out that my client had a significant relationship with Mr. Maybury, you made it your business to show her that she had changed nothing.'' She replied: "That's not the case.'' "You went out of your way to find out where she lived?'' Ms Jacobs replied: "I would say I found out where she lived, but I would not call it going out of my way.'' Ms Pearman continued: "You really expect the jury to believe you drove from Smith's Parish to St. David's and were going to drive about until you found it?'' Ms Jacobs said: "I had a general idea and I saw his car parked outside. I knew some people in St. David's. This is Bermuda.'' A number of witnesses testified yesterday that they saw Cannonier, 27, assault Ms Jacobs in Docksiders.

Ms Jacobs' friend Grshona Gibbons said Cannonier was in Ms Jacobs' "face'' and put her hand around her neck and pushed her back.

The pair was separated, but "after that I saw Shree break a glass''. She indicated seeing Cannonier slam the glass into Ms Jacobs' face.

Jacobs' cousin, Constable Shannon Lawrence, said he was off-duty at the time of the confrontation and separated the pair.

He said that he held Cannonier, who had a glass in her hand, and tried to calm her down but saw her arm swing round behind him as Ms Jacobs was struck in the face.

Cannonier is expected to give evidence in her defence before Puisne Judge Vincent Meerabux today.
