"He went upstairs and started shouting and swearing, about her leaving him downstairs all night. He began throwing items around the property, smashing a pot plant at the top of the stairs and ripping a light fitting from the ceiling.

"He then punched a hole in two doors.”

Beattie, who had chosen to represent himself, told the court he and his partner were still together despite his behaviour.
