A 57-year-old Ramsey man has admitted breaching a Domestic Abuse Protection Order (DAPO).

Kevin Mark Edwards, of Ballajora Hill, appeared before magistrates recently.

He’ll be sentenced in summary court on November 6, after a probation report has been prepared.

The court heard the order was issued in July, prohibiting Edwards from contacting the complainant.

Despite this, on August 28, he sent her two e-mails.

After being arrested and interviewed, he told police he had not agreed with the DAPO, and claimed it was based on lies.

Defence advocate Helen Lobb asked for a probation report to be prepared before sentencing.

Bail has been granted, with conditions not to contact the complainant or leave the island without court consent.
