A Marriage Made in Hell
This is how Judge Margaret Pickles described the marriage of Kenny and Kathleen Brady as she ordered them to spend 14 days in prison
The couple married only six months ago, and already they are famous for their fights. Neighbours complained that they could hear them shouting form across the street. Ann West, who lves next door, said, "First I asked them nicely to stop because my baby couldn't get to sleep, but they didn't. Then my husband knocked on their door and told themn to stop, but they refused to listen. They threw a chair out of the window at him. It just missed him! So that was it! We called the police and asked them to come right away."
The Bradys admitted they had been arguing. Mrs Brady said that she had accused her husband of wasting their money on drinking and gambling. Howeve, they denied throwing the chair.
The judge clearly did not belive them. She reminded them that they had already had two previous warnings from the police. She advised them to talk to a marriage guidance counsellor.
Mr and Mrs West and their baby are looking forward getting some sleep.
