The accused was charged with assault and related offences arising from an alleged domestic violence incident on August 3, 2016.
The Crown alleged the accused choked, beat, and struck his wife multiple times.
The defence claimed the complainant was the aggressor.
The central issue was credibility.
The court found the accused's evidence not credible on essential points, particularly because contradictory evidence was not put to the Crown's witness.
However, the complainant's evidence also contained inconsistencies, including discrepancies regarding visible injuries observed by police.
The court found a reasonable doubt remained regarding important details of the incident and dismissed the charge.
