I'm in Perth to attend a wedding and all hell breaks loose. Here is the newspaper writeup of the event. I have also enclosed one of the wedding photos caught on my IPhone (handy little thing) .
A Perth man glassed by his brother at his son's wedding reception, sparking an all-in brawl, has been awarded $20,000 compensation for his injuries.
In what may well be Perth's wildest wedding, Wembley Downs man Richard Head needed 14 stitches after he was smashed in the face with a stein glass in an attack that led to guests throwing chairs at each other and cousins locked in a fist fight.
Younger brother, Willy Head, of Kalgoorlie, was convicted of unlawful wounding over the glassing and ordered to personally pay the compensation.
But Richard Head claims it was his older brother who provoked the fight by earlier assaulting his wife, and says his brother "should be given nothing".
Statements in the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal detail the conflicting versions of events that led to the sibling feud and its bloody conflict at the wedding reception.
