“We have been having counselling sessions at Dema police station’s friendly unit for the past five days and the day of the fracas was our last day. I was angered with the fact that when we were leaving the station she started doing the same things we were cautioned not to do. She started insulting me as well as my family with vulgar words and I ended up assaulting her,” he said.
In response, Pauline told the court that Painos was generally a violent man. “This is not the first time that he assaulted me, we were actually going for counselling at the police station because of how h has been treating me,” she said.
