IHe talks about alcohol addiction, judges talk about violence against women. On the night of Tuesday April 9 to Wednesday April 10, a 41-year-old Périgord man went to a restaurant in Cénac-et-Saint-Julien (Dordogne), with his partner and their 8-year-old daughter and a friend. The drinks follow one another and the man begins to insult the staff, customers and his partner because, initially, “of a steak tartare which was a hamburger steak”.
When they return home, things get worse. “You came home, you broke everything in the living room, threw dishes and you went to bed next to the dog’s basket,” recalled, Monday April 15, the president of the Bergerac court where the forty-year-old appeared. That evening, the defendant then joined his partner in their bedroom and punched her twice in the face and back through the duvet.
“I didn’t want to touch her, it’s like banging your fist on the table to calm things down”
“I didn’t want to touch her, it’s like banging your fist on the table to calm things down,” defended the defendant on the stand. The man is a regular in the courts. Since 2018, he has already been convicted three times for domestic violence. Guardians of a castle in Périgord Noir, where they live, the Périgord and his partner have been a couple for ten years.
“Mistakes are 50/50”
The latter, who regrets having called the police the night of the incident, defended her partner at all costs during the hearing. “In a relationship, mistakes are 50/50. Maybe I should have called to make an appointment for treatment. »
Withdrawal of parental authority
The public prosecutor Gaël Bellet, for his part, portrayed the defendant as a man who “royally does not care about justice and shows himself to be unworthy of its trust”. The judges sentenced Nuno Alexandre to eighteen months in prison and a partial revocation of the probationary suspension inherited from a previous sentence.
The man no longer has the right to contact his victim for three years, and the exercise of his parental authority was withdrawn from him. On the evening of the incident, his daughter had to ask that her alcoholic father not get behind the wheel.
