DOMESTIC ABUSER GIVEN ORDER AFTER VIOLENT ATTACK
A domestic abuser has been given a two-year non-harassment order after subjecting his partner to an attack so violent she needed an X-ray.Rhys Muir, 26, previously admitted assaulting his former partner at his home in Arbroath on May 23 this year.
He admitted grabbing her by the hair and striking her head against a wall before punching her on the head, injuring her.
At a sentencing hearing, prosecutor Lissie Cook said: “The complainer attended at Ninewells to have X-rays due to the right side of her face being swollen.” Sheriff Jillian Martin-Brown placed Muir under supervision for six months and made a strict non-harassment order.
