The woman told Judge Alec Gabbett the man 'became violent and erratic and brandished a loaded shotgun in my direction'.A judge has granted a five-year safety order to a woman after hearing that her then partner brandished a loaded shotgun in her direction during a row and also hit her when she was pregnant.
In the case at the Family Law Court, the woman said after the man accused her of being unfaithful, she attempted to leave their home. The woman told Judge Alec Gabbett the man then “became violent and erratic and brandished a loaded shotgun in my direction when I was standing by the car. He tried to smash the car window with the stock of the gun. He then forced me to give me his keys.”Hamas has been shattered. Now it is fighting to surviveThe woman said that the man first got violent towards her “not long after I found out that I was pregnant where we got into an argument where he accused me of being unfaithful.
“After one argument, I told him that I wanted to leave the relationship. He got really aggressive and as I tried to exit the tractor, he drove off and I was clinging by the side of the tractor.”“He grabbed me by the throat. I was trying to push him off and he hit me just above the eye. When I finally pushed him off, I ran up to a neighbour’s house to get away from him. He grabbed me and slammed me into a small wall.
