Sydney man accused of putting wife through Russian roulette ordeal A man who subjected his wife to a terrifying ordeal of Russian roulette has pleaded guilty to weapons offences in a Sydney court. George Batista is accused of pulling out a revolver in the garage of the home he shared with his de facto wife in Greystanes in western Sydney in December 2010. He loaded one bullet in it, then spun the chamber and pulled the trigger three times. The revolver did not fire and his wife eventually fled from the garage, locked herself in the house and called police. In Parramatta District Court on Monday, Batista pleaded guilty to two weapon offences including possession of a pistol without an authorised licence. He did not apply for bail. The matter has been adjourned to the same court on August 16.
