Seventy-three bruises and strangling in three-hour assaultSUPPLIED Justin Matthew McAllister, 40, assaulted a woman over three hours. A woman was left with 73 bruises after a three-hour assault by Justin Matthew McAllister that included strangling her unconscious with a rope. The 40-year-old pleaded guilty in the Christchurch District Court on Thursday to charges of injuring the woman with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and breaching a protection order the woman took out after the assault. This part of the three-hour assault was recorded on camera, but the pair then went out of view, though there is a view of McAllister kicking. Boshier said the assault left the victim with swelling to her hands, feet, and arms, and a doctor counted 73 bruises.
