PSNI oppose bail amid fears that abuse of cancer sufferer ‘has been going on for years’

A man in his 80s has appeared in court charged with beating his 84-year-old partner, who is suffering from cancer.

Mr Stewart, formerly from Old Belfast Road, Bangor but bailed to live at Church Lane in Donaghadee, faces charges of inflicting actual bodily harm and attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle the alleged victim. A prosecuting lawyer told the court Mr Stewart went to his GP, telling the doctor how he had “continually punched the woman in an attack that lasted over two hours”. The police were alerted and when they went to the complainant’s home, they saw the woman had “significant injuries including severe bruising to her face”.
