Man sentenced for mysterious beating in Nanaimo
NANAIMO — A man pleaded guilty and was jailed for an unprovoked attack he claims he can’t remember which left a Nanaimo man with serious facial injuries.
Peter Anthony Wuitchik, 36, was convicted of assault causing bodily harm and mischief in relation to an unusual attack against a 67-year-old man on his Stewart Ave. property near the Departure Bay ferry terminal.
Wuitchik was sentenced to six months in jail and 18-months probation following a joint submission between the Crown and defence in provincial court in Nanaimo Tuesday.
Court heard on Sept. 5, 2017 at around 2 a.m. Wuitchik was confronted by Craig Fleming for looking into his neighbour’s Toyota Tercel.
