Lily Ozaeta, was locked down overnight and charged for aggravated assault with an axe and wounding.

According to the police report, Ozaeta walked onto her father's veranda at 9:30 on Sunday morning, and the only thing he remembers is hearing a loud noise, and realizing that he had been hit in his head, which caused him to topple over his veranda railing and falling unconscious. When he woke up, he saw an axe lying on the ground beside him.

Today in court, Lily Ozaeta pleaded guilty to wounding saying "Yes I did attack my father with an axe in the head causing a cut wound." She told Magistrate Carlon Mendoza, "I think everyone was taking my mother for a fool and I am the only one man enough to stand up for her".

For her guilty plea, Magistrate Mendoza imposed a non-custodial sentence her, fining her $500 dollars to be paid on or before July 29, 2016, in default, 6 months imprisonment.
