Man admits partner attack

A MAN on probation for attacking his partner assaulted her again when she was 13 weeks pregnant with their child.

Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard Kenneth Blyth, 36, had an argument with his partner Samantha Murray at the Tam O'Shanter pub which resulted in her pouring a drink over him. She then left and when he followed she slapped him. He then pushed her into a bus stop and pulled her hair.

Blyth admitted carrying out the assaults on November 14 last year. Sentence was deferred.
