A DOMESTIC violence protection order has been granted against a man of 26 from Holyhead who is alleged to have had a turbulent and violent relationship with his partner.

Shane Vaughan Hughes must not molest nor contact Kirsty Cotton or be within 100 metres of her home at Plas Hyfryd Terrace, Holyhead, in the next 28 days.

He did not appear for a civil hearing at Llandudno court at the weekend.

Applying for the order on behalf of North Wales Police solicitor Karen Kelsey said: “Police believe it is more likely than not that he has been violent to her.”
