A TURKISH immigrant who claimed he was performing a traditional dance with violent-looking moves as he beat his wife has been convicted of assault by a New Zealand judge.
Kebab shop owner Allaetin Can was arrested in August after a passer-by reported he was attacking his wife outside their takeaway in the North Island town of Hawera.
He denied the assault charge, arguing he and his wife were celebrating a profitable lunchtime's trade with a traditional dance called kolbasti, which features mock wrestling, hitting and kicking.
After last month ordering police to examine Can's claims, judge Allan Roberts described them as "nonsense" in a decision handed down yesterday.
"I reject the explanation as a lie," Roberts said, labelling Can "a manipulative, deceitful man".
Is there no end to these arse clowns insolence? Identification + Internment + repatriation = a civilized west again.
