The reason for the prohibited visit on Wednesday around noon was the birthday of their common son. The 35-year-old also spent some time with the boy. Until a dispute over a mobile phone may have arisen, during which he is said to have slapped his ex-girlfriend and apparently also threatened to shoot her as he was leaving.
