A fifth generation farming family who grew food in western Sydney s fertile food bowl is being kicked off their property after it was compulsorily acquired to make way for a road.
Cardiff Crown Court heard how the defendant demanded that Mr Windross take him home to Beaufort. Thomas became aggressive towards the taxi driver when he told him he couldn’t accept the fare. He then attacked Mr Wilcox when he intervened on behalf of Mr Windross. Mr Gobir said: “The defendant pushed the victim s head against the taxi and he became disorientated. “He then punched Mr Wilcox to the face and the two men grabbed each other and ended up on the ground. This was an unforgivable act of violence “The defendant wrapped his legs around his waist from behind and put Mr Wilcox in a headlock and started squeezing his throat tightly to the point that he was choking and could not breathe.
