A man's sickening 'game' of pushing his fiancée into water ended in tragedy when she drowned, a court has heard. The shocking details of the case have left many horrified.
The incident occurred when the man, whose identity has been withheld, repeatedly pushed his partner into the water as part of what he described as a 'joke'. However, the situation turned deadly when she was unable to swim to safety.
Witnesses reported seeing the couple arguing before the incident, but no one intervened, believing it to be playful banter. The prosecution argued that the man's actions were reckless and ultimately fatal.
Key details from the trial:
- The couple had been engaged for less than a year.
- The man claimed he 'didn't realise she couldn't swim well'.
- Emergency services arrived too late to save her.
The judge described the case as 'deeply disturbing' and emphasised the need for accountability. A sentencing hearing is expected in the coming weeks.
