A man who ditched his family to start a new life with a Ukrainian refugee that they sponsored has been hit with a restraining order by his former partner. Antony Garnett, 29, is prohibited from contacting Lorna, 28, or being within 100 metres of their former family home.
The order has been placed following a court hearing in which Lorna, who is the mother of Tony's two young daughters, claimed that he had sent abusive messages to her. The former security guard ran off with Sofiia Karkadym, 22, just ten days after he and Lorna welcomed her into their home.
The couple are now making plans to start a family and Tony is pursuing a new career in rap music. The non-molestation restraining order, which Tony agreed to without admissions, prevents him from getting in touch with Lorna via phone, text message, email or social media, The Mirror reports.
