A Whanganui man has been sent to prison after breaching his protection order while on home detention and assaulting his former partner.
Shane Abraham Manuel was convicted of three male assaults female charges back in early June and was placed on home detention for five months.
Less than two months later Manuel struck again.
On Tuesday Judge Philip Crayton sentenced Manuel to six months' imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to a further male assaults female charge and a breach of a protection order with the victim.
The NZ Police summary of facts said the couple had an on/off relationship for five years but on Wednesday June 28, 2017 the victim decided to end the relationship.
