The serial thug who attacked Wadeye nurse Vicki Myers in 2016 – his latest in a string of attacks on female nurses, teachers and service workers – has been jailed and will likely never again be allowed to live in the town. Edmund Tcherna was sentenced to two years and six months jail with no non-parole period over what Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Grant called the “disturbing assault” and a related property damage charge. He said the attack demonstrated an escalation of Tcherna’s pattern of unprovoked violence towards defenceless female service workers.
