6. The Defendant went away and returned half an hour later, he lifted our

letterbox flap, stuck his mobile phone through the letterbox and started to

record my family while swearing and shouting abuse. This went on for about

ten to fifteen minutes. The matter was reported to the police, CAD No. 5121

of 2/1/18.

7. On 3 January at 9:30am, I was inside our flat with my wife and daughter
rd
when the Defendant came and started banging on our front door. I went and

asked him what the problem was and he stated that my wife was banging on

the floor yesterday for about an hour. I told him that my wife was not banging

on the floor, that she was trying to assemble a cupboard but he called me a

liar and continued to shout and swear at us. He threatened to kill us and burn

down our property and stated that we will not be safe no matter where we

are. The Defendant then forced his way into our fiat but my wife managed to

push him out and double-locked the door. I called the police and they came

and advised us to report the matter to the council, CAD No. 2098 of 3/1/18.

The officers refused to listen to the audio recording of the incident and

advised that we should ask the council to rehouse us.

8. The recent abuse and threats to kill from the Defendant have made it difficult

for us to live in our own home. My wife is afraid to stay In our flat alone with

our daughter or leave the flat alone without me or my cousin accompanying

her. The Defendant’s behaviour is also causing a Jot of distress and anxiety

not only to me and my wife but also to our three-year- old daughter.
