A MAN from Scalloway who was found guilty of assaulting his former partner earlier this year has been fined £600.

Robert Tungatt, of Blydoit Park, appeared at Lerwick Sheriff Court on Thursday to plead not guilty to the charge before facing a trial, which lasted until late afternoon.

Sheriff Philip Mann found the 34 year old guilty of assaulting the woman by repeatedly pushing her on the body, causing her to fall against a cooker, pushing her to the floor and seizing her by the body.

The offence took place at Tungatt’s home address on 26 June this year.
