A Northumberland man who has been repeatedly jailed for breaching court orders by contacting his ex has been given a chance to stay way from her.
Ufuk Menderes had been made subject of a restraining order and a non-molestation order, which prohibited him from going to his former partner's address or making contact with her. A court heard that the 43-year-old had served prison terms in the past for ignoring those orders, the most recent of which was a six month sentence handed down in December last year.
However, the dad-of-two once again showed he'd failed to learn his lesson when he decided to ring his former partner and make reference to her on Facebook. The foolish moves landed Menderes, of Saint Andrews Road, in Berwick, back in the dock in custody this week, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of breaching a restraining order.
