Doctor and ex in big beef after she gave sirloin steak to dogs
A DOCTOR has won a restraining order against her estranged husband after she said he attacked her for feeding sirloin steak to their two dogs.
Mother-of-three Dr Sarah Shoretire, 44, had her sunglasses knocked off her head when accountant Alex Shoretire, 59, began scuffling with her in front of their nine year old daughter.
Dr Shoretire said her husband flew into a rage after he returned to their rented £2.8million mansion in Knutsford, Cheshire, to find her feeding the meat to their Alsatians.
Shoretire was reported to police. He has moved into a hotel and the couple are now consulting lawyers about a divorce.
At Stockport magistrates court, Shoretire admitted criminal damage and was banned from contacting his wife for 12 months. He was also fined £768 with £162 in costs.
Prosecutor Tina Cunnane said that in June 2021 Dr Shoretire was
at home with their daughter. She said: “The defendant returned to the home address and came and stood over her shouting about her giving the dogs some steak.
“The defendant has then knocked her sunglasses off the top of her head, which have then fallen to the ground and broken,” she said.
In mitigation, defence lawyer Trevor Feehily said: “My client does dispute that it was an argument over what their dogs were being fed. It was actually to do with what the dogs were doing and where they were.
“When he came home, he was met with their two Alsatian dogs in the garden. This is a rented property and at previous houses, the dogs have had a history of causing damage in the gardens.”
Mr Feehily said his client had previous problems getting deposits back because of the dogs and so had invested in an expensive barrier to keep them out of the garden.
He added: “When he has come home, his wife was on the patio oblivious that the dogs were in the garden and causing mayhem. He has approached his wife and unable to get any meaningful explanation as to why they were in the garden.
“He has then overreacted in the heat of the moment.”
