Battered Wife: Abusive Husband

Departure Date Dept: They might as well start building my coffin now, 25-year-old Liliana Fontes said in a recent interview. She has lived in Canada for several years and was hoping to make a life here, according to The Star. Her common-law husband, Mario Fonseca, was recently convicted of beating her with a beer bottle and obstructing justice by trying to coerce her to tell the judge she was lying. Other charges, including sexual assault and threatening death, were withdrawn as part of a plea bargain and canada has ordered a battered wife deported to Portugal where she fears her abusive husband will kill her. Fontes, who will have to take her ailing, 2-year-old son with her to Portugal, must appear before immigration officials Wednesday to learn her departure date. As reported in the news.
