The accused was charged with assault and two counts of threatening following an altercation with his sister at the family home.
The complainant alleged that after an argument over a cell phone, the accused struck her and pushed her down the stairs.
The accused testified that his sister was the aggressor, striking their mother, and that he only separated them without striking anyone.
The court found serious discrepancies in the complainant's evidence, including her failure to mention being pushed down stairs to police and inconsistencies regarding an alleged arranged marriage.
The photographic evidence showed more serious injuries to the accused and his mother than to the complainant, supporting the defence narrative.
The court acquitted the accused of all charges.
