Statement of Kaity ABSALOM
In the matter of Police v MCMANUS
My mum said she was going to go to Dale`s house with him to try sort out something with my
uncle. My mum messaged me about 4:00pm and said ill be home soon and that the police had
been called. She didn`t really tell me much just that Rhiannon was coming home early.
| called Rhiannon and asked what happened and she said she had to go pick up mum.
About 4:50pm mum came home with Rhiannon. Mum was really emotional. She was hard to
talk to. She was crying a lot and wouldn`t calm down. Normally when shes upset | try to make
sure shes okay, so | was giving her water.
Around 7:00pm, we started to cook dinner and | heard my mum outside on the phone to
someone. | then heard Dales truck. His Truck has a sound that you just know its that truck
because its very loud. My mum then came in and said Kenny was here. She said he was in the
flat. We just stayed inside and mum said Dale called the police.
My mum went back outside. Me and Rhiannon stayed inside. We heard yelling so we looked
outside to see what happened. | heard my mum say, “You`re my brother, why are you doing
this”. Something along the lines of that. | could just hear Kenny swearing. Eventually | heard
the truck leave. It was quiet so | assumed Kenny left too.
My mum came inside, and she was holding a bat in her hand. it was about 50cm long, brown,
wooden. She was crying and said something along the lines of “He hit me in the head with a
bat”. | was a bit confused because my mum told me Dale called the police so | thought they
would be here by now.
| was trying to keep my mum calm and gave her water. Me and Rhiannon then called police
and ambulance again. | took photos of my mum`s hand. | saw blood on her left hand. | asked
her what happened, but she said she didn`t know what happened.
About an hour later she said the blood might have come from when she was trying to get the
bat out of his hand.
Police and paramedics arrived not long after that. | spoke with Constable DEO and Constable
SIMONIAN and agreed to meet them at Fairfield Police Station to provide a statement.

Statement of Rhiannon ABSALOM
In the matter of Police v MCMANUS
My mum told me that police and ambulance were called because Kenny was very erratic and
had weapons but didn`t hurt anyone, and that the police told her she couldn`t drive home.
I got home at around 5:15pm. By the time | got home my mum had been dropped home by the
police but we still needed to go get her car. We left my sister at home then | drove mum to
Kenny and Dale`s. When we arrived, the ambulance was already there. Kenny was in the
ambulance and Dale was on the phone. Mum and Dale briefly spoke, and Dale told mum that
they would take Kenny to the hospital. Me and mum then got into the car and drove home.
We got home, went about our normal routine and then Kaity and | were inside. Mum was on
the veranda. Probably about an hour and a half to two hours later, Kaity and | were having
dinner and that`s when we heard voices outside. Because Kenny is always there, we didn`t
engage but | recognised that it was his voice. | then heard Dale`s truck because its very
distinct. Its like a vintage truck so it has a very loud engine. | then heard Dale`s voice. | didn’t
hear any yelling but | just heard them talking outside. Roughly 5 to 10 minutes later, mum came
inside and said “He`s hit me with a fucken bat”.
Mum was holding a bat, about 30cm in length, dark brown, wood, thick, smooth with some

Based on the provided document, here is a summary of what the file contains:\n\nThis is a **Brief of Evidence** prepared by the NSW Police Force for a criminal matter before the Fairfield Local Court.\n\n### **Core Details:**\n* **Accused:** Kenneth William McManus (DOB: 07/05/1960)\n* **Charge:** Assault occasioning actual bodily harm (Domestic Violence - Table 2 offence)\n* **Alleged Victim:** Kayleen McManus (the accused's sister)\n* **Date of Alleged Offence:** 26 August 2025\n* **Location:** 51 Margaret Street, Fairfield West, NSW\n* **Court Date:** 20 October 2025 (for mention)\n\n### **Key Contents of the Brief:**\n\n1. **Administrative Documents:**\n * Cover sheet, contents list, and witness list.\n * A letter from Legal Aid NSW (dated 31 Oct 2025) to the accused, Leslie Scott, enclosing the brief. *(Note: The letter is addressed to Leslie Scott, which appears to be a discrepancy, as the accused named throughout is Kenneth McManus. This may be an error or involve a different party)*.\n * Court Attendance Notice and Fact Sheet outlining the allegations.\n\n2. **Alleged Facts (from Police Fact Sheet):**\n * The accused and victim (his sister) had been drinking earlier in the day, leading to a verbal argument and police/ambulance attendance.\n * Later that evening, the accused attended the victim's address. After another argument, he allegedly grabbed a wooden bat from a witness's vehicle and struck the victim twice on the head.\n * The victim snatched the bat in self-defence and hit the accused to get him away.\n * The victim's daughters called police and ambulance. The victim was treated at Liverpool Hospital for bleeding, bruising, and swelling.\n\n3. **Witness Statements:**\n * **Victim Statement (Kayleen McManus):** Describes the accused arriving, an altercation where he grabbed her neck, and then him striking her in the back of the head with a bat. She states she took the bat in fear for her life.\n * **Witness Statements (Kaity & Rhiannon Absalom - victim's daughters):** Describe their mother's emotional state, hearing the altercation, and finding their mother injured and holding a bat. They express fear of the accused.\n\n4. **Evidence:**\n * **Photographs:** 27 photos of the wooden bat used.\n * **Forensic Report:** A DNA report stating a mixed profile from a swab of the bat. The report indicates Kenneth William McManus **\"cannot be excluded as a contributor\"** to the male profile found on the bat.\n * **Body Worn Video:** Footage from Constable Ravineil Deo and Leading Senior Constable Warren White (not included in text, but noted as external media).\n\n5. **Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO):**\n * A provisional ADVO was issued against Kenneth McManus to protect Kayleen McManus and her daughter Kaity Absalom.\n * It includes orders not to assault, threaten, stalk, harass, intimidate, approach, or contact the protected persons, and not to go within 100 metres of their home.\n * A statement of service confirms the order was served on the accused on 29 August 2025.\n\n### **Outstanding Items:**\nThe brief notes that several police witness statements (from Constables Simonian and White, and a crime scene statement) are still outstanding.\n\n### **Overall Summary:**\nThis is a prosecution brief alleging a domestic violence-related assault by Kenneth McManus against his sister. The police case relies on the victim's account, witness statements from her daughters, forensic DNA evidence linking the accused to the alleged weapon, and body-worn video. A provisional ADVO is already in place. The matter is next listed for mention in court. The letter from Legal Aid suggests the accused may be seeking legal representation.
