‘Paranoid’ man admits beating partner over two-year period

Dundee Sheriff Court.
Dundee Sheriff Court.

A “paranoid” man has admitted subjecting his partner to regular beatings over a two-year period.

Damian Chytryk, 25, of Albert Street, Dundee, regularly kicked, slapped, grabbed and punched Paula Molenda on the head and body when he became jealous if she spoke to other men, the sheriff court heard.

Matters came to a head when she told him she wanted to end the relationship and he threw her against a wall and threw a child’s toy at her.

Chytryk admitted that on various occasions between June 8 2015 and June 7 last year, at Albert Street and elsewhere, he assaulted Ms Molenda and repeatedly pushed her.

He also admitted that he assaulted Ms Molenda by seizing her repeatedly by the body, pinned her against a wall and threw an object at her at the same address on June 7 and 8 last year. He further admitted two breaches of bail by approaching Ms Molenda and entering the house, after being ordered not to by the courts, at the same address on February 14 and May 15 this year.

The court heard that on June 7 last year, Ms Molenda arrived home from work and Chytryk seemed agitated.

He asked her where she had been and had she been cheating on him. He became angry and grabbed her by the body.

The next day she said she no longer wished to be in a relationship with him and he became angry again, seized her by the body and pinned her against a wall.

Solicitor David Sinclair said the couple were back together again and were trying to resolve their problems.

Sheriff Alastair Carmichael deferred sentence until August 21 and granted Chytryk bail.
