Caught red handed by the police

Irony abounds in this story - a Turkish couple in Taranaki full of the joys of life were dancing.

The dance they were dancing is called "Kolbastı" translated as "caught red-handed" by the police.

And they were or the male was he was charged with assaulting his wife Elmas after the police were called by a passer by.

It didn't help matters that his wife doesn't speak English or that Turkish speakers are thin on the ground in Hawera.

So the matter has come before the courts who are yet to decide if dancing constitutes assault and will rule on this matter on August the 17th.
