Anger management expert admits assault

A Scottish anger management counsellor and anti-domestic violence campaign veteran has been demoted for assaulting his partner.

Vince Hogg, 45, attacked Beverley Burns during a row about the fact a shower was leaking and caused a carpet to get wet at their Fife home.

The former psychiatric nurse tore the 42-year-old's hair out and slammed her against a wall.

Yesterday Hogg, who admitted assault, was put on probation for 12 months. His lawyer, Joanne Smith, told a court he was to receive treatment for mental health difficulties.
