A wheelchair-bound Tongan prince has won a restraining order against his wife after telling a court he feared for his life after being clobbered with an electric fan stand.
Tonga’s Chief Justice Anthony Ford granted the order to Prince Tu’ipelehake, the cousin of King Siaosi Tupou V, banning his wife Makeleta Ene’io Tuku’aho from going within 50m of her husband without his consent.
The prince applied for the urgent restraining order on April 12 after his wife allegedly attacked him with the electric fan stand, causing cuts and bruises to his head, arms, legs and back.
Prince Tu’ipelehake, who lost a leg to diabetes, said he feared Ene’io would assault him again, endangering his life, according to court documents seen Thursday.
He also feared that Ene’io, his third wife, would make a spectacle of him at work, in public, or in parliament where he sits as a nobles’ representative and serves as Tonga’s agriculture and fisheries minister.
She was also ordered to remove her belongings from Tu’ipelehake’s home, and told to stay away from his office and parliament buildings.(AFP)
