It is the kind of story that would make any caravan owner break out into a cold sweat. Imagine if your pride and joy had been systematically trashed – by none other than your girlfriend.
Yet that’s exactly what happened to a resident of Queensland, Australia after his girlfriend discovered him with another woman.
According to the Queensland Times, Ipswich Magistrates Court heard how Kerry Lee Grantham, 45 visited her partner who was staying in his caravan at the Marburg showground in November.
While she was there her boyfriend went out to get lunch – yet she soon became suspicious after more than half an hour had passed.
Prosecuter Kerry Allison then recounted how Grantham went to look for her boyfriend, before finding him at a female friend’s house at Lowood.
Upon this discovery she immediately returned to his caravan and set about destroying as much as possible.
She explained how Grantham cut the cord of the kettle, smashed the television and tore the shower head from the wall. She then proceeded to spray shaving cream over his clothes and bedsheets before pouring food on his bed. The final act was puncturing the tyres of a vehicle.
Grantham pleaded guilty to charges of wilful damage and stealing. The charges were adjourned and will next be heard in court on February 2.
