An article published by dailyrecord.co.uk on 17 December was headlined ' Outrage at claim Scots councillor called woman's assault by ex-partner 'just another domestic '', and originally reported that Councillor Richard Moore referred to the attack as 'just another domestic'.
This allegation was provided by a source and published in good faith, however, we have since been advised that this is not true.
Angus Council has confirmed that Cllr Moore did not make that comment, nor was domestic abuse trivialised by any councillors at the meeting. We would like to clarify this and apologise for the error.
