Crime by Heath Parkes-Hupton 21st Jan 2021 3:47 PM Disgraced property developer Salim Mehajer allegedly attacked and choked his glamorous ex-girlfriend during a series of violent assaults spanning almost three years, a court has heard. Police visited Mr Mehajer at Silverwater s remand centre on Wednesday and laid several domestic violence charges against him following investigations into reports made late last year by Melissa Tysoe, 31. He faced Burwood Local Court the same day where he pleaded not guilty to four counts of common assault, one of stalk or intimidate and one of intentionally choking a person with recklessness.

Subscriber only Salim Mehajer is due to face court this week after allegedly breaching an AVO granted on behalf of his ex-girlfriend while he was behind bars. It was revealed in December his former partner Melissa Missy Tysoe had reported allegations of domestic abuse by Mr Mehajer, 34, to police. On December 23 a magistrate granted a provisional apprehended violence order that prevented the former Auburn deputy mayor from contacting Ms Tysoe, 31, unless through a lawyer. It will be alleged in court, however, Mr Mehajer defied that order just days later.
