Swedish national, Emil Birger Fredrik Torstensson, who was arrested for seriously assaulting his girlfriend in Bahçeli, was brought before Kyrenia District Court yesterday morning, Kibris Postasi reported.
Police officer Boran Özgen, who works at the Kyrenia Criminal Division, presented the facts in court. The officer stated that on August 14, 2024, around 7 pm, Torstensson severely assaulted his girlfriend, A.K.S., whom he lives with at the Pine Bay View site in Bahçeli. The assault happened because he believed she was cheating on him with other men, and he punched her in various parts of her body and head.
The police said that Torstensson was arrested the same day after a complaint was filed. They also mentioned that since he is a Swedish citizen and not a permanent resident of the country, they are requesting that he be kept in custody while awaiting trial.
Senior Judge Hazal Hacımulla reviewed the evidence presented and ordered that Torstensson be remanded in custody for up to 10 days.
