A man who attacked his girlfriend, leaving her with facial injuries, told police he couldn’t remember doing it, a court in Preston heard.
When Peter Hung was quizzed by officers at the scene of the assault he confessed he had mental health issues and had no recollection of punching her three times. The 42-year-old university graduate was jailed for eight months after a judge was told it was the third time he had been accused of injuring the woman during their five-year on-off relationship. He had been on bail at the time and subject to a condition that he did not contact her or visit the street where she lived.
” Judge O’Brien said the issue of a knife would make a difference to sentencing. But Ms McManus explained that although the knife was recovered by the officers for forensic examination, there was no DNA evidence because she “has not responded to any of the attempts to contact her, so that line of enquiry couldn’t proceed.” She added that police had also made several attempts to contact her to make a victim personal statement to be presented before the court, but there had been no response.
