Yes, I found the pictures quite disturbing when I saw them earlier.

Front page in one of the sunday papers here.

She's moved out apparently (there's hope for you yet Dave)

We were watching it on the news and my daughter said she doesn't look too bad for 50 (53 actually).
I said, "She's 50???????????".
My wife said, "Stop right there Trevor".

Note the "TrevOR" not just "Trev".

Whilst the photos in the paper didn't do her justice (understandable, given what she'd been through), she is extremely well kept.

Here's a better one (or two):

Just been on the 11am bbc news that the police are reviewing the photo's in the sunday paper to see if an offence has been committed.

I think they have to be ultra careful as pictures can distort what actually happened as the report i read doesn't specifically state eye witnesses saw her being assaulted.

Doggie 1 · **Reply #8: June 17, 2013, 11:36:45**

Reports over here have said that people saw him with first one hand on her throat and then two hands around her throat.
Hopefully they get enough to lock him up.

The pollis can't do anything unless a crime has been reported, can they?

Doggie 1 · **Reply #10: June 17, 2013, 11:40:54**

Over here, not for assault.
If it was an unlawful wounding (stabbing) they can, but for assault they need a willing complainant.
We have pretty strong domestic violence laws here though. Not sure what they're like in the U.K.

May be he was checking her throat size for a scarf

Rich Pr*#k or not,wouldn't have wanted to done it in front of me,assaulting a woman,child or older person is the act of a coward,thing that surprised me IS NO ONE went to her aid or even asked if she was OK when she was leaving,Pr*#k should be hung by his nuts until they drop off.

Doggie 1 · **Reply #13: June 17, 2013, 12:14:19**

I can't argue with that.

Surferdude · **Reply #14: June 17, 2013, 12:18:32**

Did I hear somewhere that he's 70?

Bloody hell. he should be in a wheel chair (says the 65 y/o smilingly). Not bashing women .

I used to be in charge of the West Australian state wide policy section on DV so have had a fair bit to do with it.
As I have seen reported, Nigella may have tried to placate him so as not to create a scene.
My (now deceased) friend, Rebecca, was somewhat of a pioneer in this area.
Other than that, it's difficult to comment further as we don't know the facts, but there's no excuse for it.

eye30 · **Reply #16: June 17, 2013, 16:01:40**

According to the latest news he was "messing about" and it was all friendly between them.

Update

In Monday's Evening Standard, Mr Saatchi said: "About a week ago, we were sitting outside a restaurant having an intense debate about the children, and I held Nigella's neck repeatedly while attempting to emphasise my point.

"There was no grip, it was a playful tiff.

"Nigella's tears were because we both hate arguing, not because she had been hurt.

Shambles · **Reply #18: June 17, 2013, 18:42:39**

Eureka · **Reply #21: June 18, 2013, 00:20:55**

If i was her I might dream of his testicles being removed, but I don't think I'd want them hanging on my ears.

Here husband has been cautioned by the police.

Yes, 'cautioned', how disappointing.

I read that he said he accepted the cautions to prevent a long drawn out court case which would have cost ££££ and to bring the incident to a close without prolonging any further speculation.
