A Townsville mother-of-four has smashed up her relatives car with a baseball bat after it was revealed the male owner got her then 15-year-old daughter pregnant.

Renay Lara Nai pleaded guilty to one charge of wilful damage in the Townsville Magistrates Court on April 1 after she used a baseball bat to smash all the windows on the man’s Holden Barina on May 15, 2019.

The court heard Nai was undergoing surgery when her “extended relative”, identified as the victim, commenced a relationship with her underage daughter who subsequently fell pregnant.

Police prosecutor Jordan Theed said witnesses saw Nai open an unlocked garage door before she proceeded to “smash the front and rear windshields”.

Mr Theed said the Barina owner complained to police about the incident and Nai was later questioned by police and charged.

In court, Nai’s defence solicitor said his client had been employed as an assistant in nursing at Shalom Elders Village for seven years and the incident was “out of character”.

Magistrate Steven Mosch said he understood why Nai would be angry and what motivated her actions but said “two wrongs don’t make a right”.

Magistrate Mosch accepted the incident was out of character and fined Nai $500, referred to SPER.

A conviction was not recorded.
