Aberdeen man handed supervision and community orders for violent assault on partner

ABERDEEN MAN HANDED SUPERVISION AND COMMUNITY ORDERS FOR VIOLENT ASSAULT ON PARTNER

An individual from Aberdeen was involved in a violent incident targeting his partner.

The incident occurred on Halloween night when the man, 27-year-old Ugis Kalasnikovs, returned to their flat around 11:30 pm.

He initially threw his jacket and shoes at the woman, along with a fruit bowl and tangerines.

Subsequently, he threatened to throw her out of a window, grabbed her by the hair pulling some out, and threw various objects at her, including a large metal bowl hitting her on the shoulder and tangerines hitting her head and shoulder.

During the altercation, he attempted to jump on her while she was seated on the sofa.

The woman managed to flee to a bedroom and barricaded the door with a bed.

Police were contacted, and officers traced him outside, where he admitted to the assault, saying, "That’s what I did, that’s true, I can’t object about it.

I’m man enough to say I did it and it’s wrong." The woman ended their relationship following the incident.

Kalasnikovs pleaded guilty to charges of threatening and abusive behaviour and assault.

His defense highlighted mental health issues and his status as a first offender.

The court, led by Sheriff William Summers, described the offences as "deplorable" and sentenced him to a two-year supervision order, 120 hours of unpaid work, and completion of the Caledonian programme as alternatives to custody.

A three-year non-harassment order was also imposed.
