Premium Content TWO elderly neighbours came to blows in a luxury Main Beach tower after a row over social distancing laws. But the Southport Magistrates Court on Friday cleared 77-year-old Brian Powell of any guilt, finding he was protecting his wife who had pneumonia in both lungs. Cheryl Powell had been told she would die if she contracted coronavirus. The scuffle started when Mr Powell tried to stop his 75-year-old neighbour William Clements getting in the lift at De Ville, Main Beach about 8.45am on June 19 last year. Mr Powell pleaded not guilty to a single charge of assault of a person over 60.
