A MAN who had been on bail accused of knocking his partner's teeth out, has been accused of doing the same thing again allegedly saying "she deserved it".
Martin John White (35) of Clarendon Street in Derry is charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and falsely imprisoning the woman on February 14.
District Judge Barney McElholm referred to the defendant as a "creature who should never be let out."
A police officer said he could connect White to the charges and to a breach of bail where he is not allowed within 200 metres of the alleged injured party.
He told the court that at 11.55pm police were called to the defendant's address by the woman who said she had been assaulted.
When police arrived they saw a woman with a black eye, blood coming from her mouth and some teeth missing.
She said White had punched her four times and she thought she had blacked out.
When she came round she said White was on the phone stating he had "knocked her teeth out again she deserved it."
White was found intoxicated nearby and arrested and at interview said they had been punching each other but denied the false imprisonment.
Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott described the case as a "very difficult application".
He said it was unfortunate that after previous charges "the relationship had resumed" and the couple had gone out for Valentine's night and drank too much.
He said "they should never have got back together but they did."
Judge McElholm said: "This man, I am using the word man in the ironic sense, this creature should be locked away somewhere.... and never let out."
He told White: "You are not fit to be out in public with decent human beings and you will never get bail for anything from me."
White was remanded in custody to appear again on February 27.
