Woman broke her leg after partner threw her from holiday caravan during attack

An Aberdeen man who attacked his partner in a holiday caravan and broke her leg was told he is facing a jail sentence yesterday.

Ian Muir, 45, appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court and admitted assaulting Carla Munro in a caravan at Parkdean Caravan Park in Nairn on July 3 by repeatedly punching her head and body and throwing her from a caravan to her severe injury.

Sentence was deferred for a background report until March 17 but Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood told Muir: “I fail to see any disposal other than a custodial one. This appears to be an unprovoked attack on a female who was in her bed and she sustained a broken leg.

“With reluctance I will continue bail as it was in 1991 that you last served a period of imprisonment.”

Fiscal depute Michelle Molley told the court that Muir, of Bellfield Road, Bridge of Don, and Ms Munro had gone to the caravan park for a weekend break with friends and family.

The court heard they spent the evening in the bar and Ms Munro and the other couple returned to the caravan to go to bed.

“He arrived a short time later and went into the bedroom. He was heavily intoxicated. An argument started, he became angry and pushed her. He repeatedly punched her on the head and body and she curled up to protect herself.

“She left the bedroom and he took hold of her, opened the door and threw her out down the steps on to the grass.

“She fell heavily to the ground and was injured. She was terrified what Muir might do to her so she shuffled behind the caravan out of the light in an attempt to hide.”

Ms Molley said the police and an ambulance were called.

“She sustained a broken left fibula just below the knee and a plate had to be inserted to repair it.” Ms Molley went on.

Defence solicitor Tony Burgess reserved his comments until sentencing. But he told the Sheriff: “It was not entirely an unprovoked attack because he was punched in the course of the argument. However he accepts he totally over-reacted.”
