Court told of bedroom violence in domestic cop assault case

A POLICEWOMAN, alleged to have been beaten up by her domestic violence cop boyfriend, denied threatening to kill herself.

Insp Amanda Lowe, 33, also denied attacking her former partner Det Sgt Adrian Ramdat and trying to make him jealous by showing him texts from a married senior ranking officer who she also had a relationship with.

Richard Atchley, defending, said City of London Police inspector Ms Lowe had been with a string of policeman lovers, seeing three different officers she worked with in the space of six months.

Jurors were told she tried to make Ramdat jealous by showing him texts from the senior officer, who was also the defendant's boss, in a bid to drive him into a jealous rage.

Mr Atchley told Basildon Crown Court following a bust up between the pair at Ms Lowe's Chafford Hundred home on August 30 last year, Ramdat stormed out of the house.

But he told the court the married father-of-three returned to the house to get his things from a bedroom when he found Ms Lowe who threatened to kill herself.

Cross examining Ms Lowe, Mr Atchley said: “You're then in the bedroom barricading the door and he's trying to get in for two reasons, one because you said you were going to kill yourself.

“And it's not the first time you had said you were going to kill yourself.

“Then he comes in and you attack him and you go for it, and he does pick you up and throws you onto the bed.

“You bounced off the bed some way and that's when you broke your ankle.”

Ms Lowe admitted having relationships with three policeman.

But the inspector denied trying to make him jealous, claiming that Ramdat, formerly of Hawkins Drive, Chafford Hundred insisted she told him him about the text messages.

She also denied attacking 40-year-old Ramdat or threatening to kill herself.

Ramdat, who is currently suspended from the City of London Police where he was a domestic violence cop, denies one count of assault by beating and one count of assault.

The trial continues.
