A dad fractured his partner's skull after throwing an aftershave bottle during an argument.
Leigh Ravie turned violent when his then-partner accepted a Facebook friend request from someone who "did not approve of him". An argument began before the 33-year-old picked up an aftershave bottle and threw it at a wall, but ended up hitting her directly in the head. The impact caused a hairline fracture to the woman's skull and left her with a black eye and nerve damage to her ear.
As the woman pleaded for help, Ravie, who carried out the incident while on bail for a driving matter, left the property but was later arrested. He subsequently pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm on the basis he threw the bottle in "frustration" at a wall where she was standing.
