Living companions attacked: women's shelter or ban on return?

Living companions attacked: women's shelter or ban on return?

A dramatic scene took place in Hagen-Haspe on Monday afternoon when a woman called the police to her apartment and reported on a brutal attack by her partner. There had already been violent clashes, including an incident in which the man spat on her and choked her. The current dispute escalated again and led to the woman being choked again.

When the police officially referred the attacker to the apartment and imposed on him for a ten -day return ban, the woman changed her opinion and regretted her call. Nevertheless, the ban on return remains to protect them from further violence - the police have ordered surveillance and violations are punished with penalty payment. The criminal police have now taken over the investigation to clarify further details.
