The High Criminal Court has sentenced a man in his twenties to three years in prison after convicting him of assaulting his female co-worker by throwing hot water on her, resulting in a permanent disability assessed at 5%, according to medical reports.

The incident occurred following a workplace dispute at a café over the handling of an order. The argument escalated when the defendant physically assaulted the victim and knocked her to the ground, prompting intervention by other staff members.

After the situation appeared to have calmed, the defendant called the victim by name and, when she turned towards him, he threw hot water prepared for café use onto her face.

Investigations revealed that the defendant continued his assault outside the workplace by striking the victim with a metal water heater. He later confessed to the charges during prosecution questioning
