National Police officers have arrested a 42-year-old suspect for beating up his ex-girlfriend while she was sleeping, a few hours after she ended their relationship. After four days of hiding, the man handed himself in on Tuesday 18 March.

The incident happened at around 8.45am on 14 March, when the man used keys he was still in possession of to enter his ex-girlfriend's house and proceeded to continuously punch and hit her on the face and other parts of her body.

The suspect then fled the scene and hid for the next four days. However, he continued to call the victim and her family, threatening to kill her. She remained under police protection until her assailant handed himself in.

According to the victim's testimony, she had tried to break up with him the night before the attack. She said that, during the relationship, she had suffered regular physical and psychological abuse. He had demonstrated violent and possessive behaviour, including trying to isolate her from her social circle and taking away her keys to lock her inside the house.

Despite her fear of reporting him, she did so a few months ago but later asked for the precautionary measures to be withdrawn.
