A MAN accused of two attacks on his then partner allegedly “tried to choke her” after a dispute about his dog, Dublin District Court has heard.

Toyatma Fedee (37) of Baileys Court, Mountjoy, Dublin, was charged with two counts of assault causing harm to the woman.

It couldn’t be anything else but the scripts and no one had ever, out of the blue, sent me a script before.
