Husband attacked wife with illegal stun gun

-

An Aberdeen delivery driver repeatedly jolted his wife with a stun gun as she stood making a birthday cake.

Slawomir Buczynski flew into a rage at the mention of a male excolleagu­e and fired the illegal weapon seven times into his partner’s body.

When the burly 37-year-old’s wife slumped to the ground in agony he kicked her as she lay stricken on the floor, the High Court in Glasgow heard.

Police were called after neighbours heard the victim’s screams.

Buczynski pled guilty to assaulting his wife to her injury, possession of a prohibited weapon as well as threatenin­g and abusive behaviour on April 6 last year.

The first offender – who worked as a Deliveroo driver – was remanded in custody pending sentencing in the new year.

The couple lived at a flat in Aberdeen’s Gordon’s Mills Crescent having married in February 2020.

Prosecutor Chris McKenna said the woman was preparing a child’s birthday cake when her husband came in clutching the stun gun.

Buczynski brought up a “historic friendship” his wife had with a male ex-colleague.

The advocate depute said: “A boy was present and saw him push (the woman).

“He then retreated to a bedroom and remained there until police arrived.

“Buczynski assaulted his wife with the stun gun by pressing it against her body and dischargin­g it repeatedly.

“She felt pain on her back, arms and legs.”

Buczynski was not under the influence of drink or drugs.

His wife suffered bruising and marks to her back, arms and leg.

Judge Lady Stacey refused a request for bail for Buczynski.
