The court was informed that the young woman, who is a registered nurse, was punched in her forehead by her lover, André Pryce, who also squeezed her throat after she refused to cuddle.
Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey after hearing the facts in the matter, revoked Pryce's bail after he pleaded guilty to assault occasioning bodily harm.
“You have to understand that you can't abuse woman like that,” the magistrate told Pryce, who was scheduled for sentencing on the following day.
According to the complainant's statement, on February 12 around 4:30 am, she was lying in bed with Pryce when he wanted to hug her and she refused.
Pryce reportedly started arguing with the woman as to why she did not want to hug him, but was ignored.
The complainant said that while she was still lying in the bed, Pryce came over her and started to squeeze her throat and she had to bite him on his chest for him to release her.
However, she said that when she tried to leave the house he prevented her. She screamed for help and he placed his hand over her mouth and pulled at it, causing pain. more
