Subscriber only A MAN who was stabbed 35 times in the throat and chest in a Kempsey prison had learnt his lesson after a horrific time in custody, a court has heard. Jake Jypsy James Wiffen, 26, appeared in Tweed Heads Local Court last Wednesday to plead guilty to 11 charges from four separate incidents including stealing cars, disqualified driving, dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and possessing an unauthorised pistol. Wiffen, who has lived in various places including Bermagui and Stokers Siding in the past few years, was extradited from Queensland on January 17. Court documents reveal Wiffen took part in transferring $25,000 from the bank account of a man on holiday in Kirra on November 30, 2019.
