Man charged after domestic assault in Tuebrook

A man has been charged after reports of a domestic assault in Tuebrook on Sunday morning (17 May).

Officers were called to a house just before 7.20am where it was reported a woman in her 30s had been struck to the head.

The North West Ambulance Service attended and the woman was taken to hospital with serious head injuries where her condition is described as critical but stable.

Louden Chagona, 50 years, of Snaefell Avenue, Tuebrook has been charged with attempted murder and remanded into custody to appear at Merseyside Domestic Violence Remand Court today (Monday 18 May).

Detective Chief Inspector Lynsay Armbruster said: “We simply will not tolerate domestic abuse of any kind, and our officers and partners carry out activity every day of the year to bring perpetrators to justice and ensure victim-survivors receive the support they need.

“Domestic abuse comes in many forms. As well as physical harm, it can include emotional or sexual abuse, control of finances or other controlling behaviour and while the majority of victims are women, it can happen to anyone, regardless of gender and social status.  

“I’d urge anyone who may be a victim or knows someone who is to please reach out and contact us. Every report will be taken extremely seriously, and we will listen and support you throughout the process.”
