Premium Content Subscriber only A MUM’S worry over a teenage daughter dating a man 20 years her senior was the catalyst for a violent driveway confrontation that led to her daughter’s boyfriend being injured when struck with a spanner. There was no dispute in court evidence that the mother’s then-boyfriend Matthew Peter Manson, aged 38, struck Toby Daniel Williams, 40, with the spanner and caused an arm injury requiring six stitches at Rosewood on Friday, December 13 2019. At his trial in Ipswich District Court this week, Manson successfully defended the charge of assault causing bodily harm. After two days of evidence the jury found him not guilty and Manson was discharged.
