Richard Davies, 44, of Ryelands Road, was found guilty after a trial of the assault of his girlfriend’s ex — and near neighbour — Stephen Button-Davies. Hereford Magistrates heard Mr Bufton-Davies is still married to Davies’ partner of two years. Adrian Jones, prosecut- ing, said the victim called police at 10pm on July 1 after hearing that his ex- partner had been abused. Police arrived at the house and no further ac- tion was taken. However, after offic- ers left the premises, Mr Bufton-Davies began talk- ing to his ex-wife through the fence that separated their two respective homes. “The defendant then said: ‘I’ve got something for you’," added Mr Jones. “And swung a golf club towards him which hit his right hand. The injury sustained was minor.” Davies then left the scene and police were again called. He was arrested af- ter police found golf clubs in his bedroom.

He said: “Mr Bufton- Davies is still married to his ex-partner who now lives with Davies.They are neighbours and their houses back onto each other so they are living very close.
