Newton in court on assault charges

Matthew Newton has pleaded not guilty to assaulting his former girlfriend Brooke Satchwell.

 

Assault charges against actor Matthew Newton have been heard in a Sydney court.

The 29-year-old son of Bert (famous TV host in Australia) and Patti Newton is accused of assaulting his former girlfriend, actress Brooke Satchwell.

Newton has pleaded not guilty to four charges, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

He was not required to appear in Balmain Local Court in Sydney’s inner-west today.

His lawyer sought a variation of bail because Newton had moved to a new address.

The case was adjourned until later this month, when a date will be set for a three-day hearing.

Police still looking for owners of stolen goods

Gold Coast police say they have recovered at least $50,000 worth of electrical appliances, jewellery and alcohol stolen from local properties over the past three months.

Detective Senior Constable Todd Miller says the goods were found at a Molendinar address on Monday night.

He says police are still looking for some of the owners.

“We’ve identified a number of break and enters within that estate, but we are keen to hear from people who live within that estate who have had their house broken into that have items of property that haven’t been recovered by the police,” he said.

“We have had an amount of property identified by owners, but we still have a substantial amount of property that hasn’t been identified.”

A 21-year-old man is due to appear before Southport Magistrates Court today on 21 property and drugs charges.
