Turnbull bail ruling due

Andrew Turnbull‚ accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend‚ revealed in court on Tuesday that he moved to Johannesburg to support her wishes‚ but is willing to leave if granted bail.

A video recorded by Gray’s cousin‚ which was played in court last Wednesday‚ showed her in a chokehold before being tossed aside by Turnbull.

Several recorded telephone conversations between Turnbull and Gray’s ex-husband were also played in court at a previous appearance.

“Are you prepared to take what’s coming your way?Are you f **** g prepared?” a man purported to be Turnbull is heard saying.

The former racing driver sat quietly while his lawyer‚ Nardus Grove‚ presented his head of arguments on Tuesday.

Grove said Turnbull would live with his parents in Port Alfred should he be released on bail.

State prosecutor Marike Kersop argued that it was clear that he assaulted the complainant [Gray]”.

She said the threats Turnbull made to her ex-husband were serious – such that he and the children had moved house.
