Boxing legend Jeff Fenech’s son is behind bars after being hit with a string of domestic violence charges
Jeff Fenech’s son has been refused bail after appearing before a Sydney court on multiple domestic violence charges after allegedly committing several attacks on a woman in January.
Beau Fenech did not enter pleas to two charges of domestic violence-related assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two charges of common assault.
He did not seek bail, and bail was refused.
Police allege Fenech assaulted a woman and caused actual bodily harm in the inner-west Sydney suburb of Haberfield on January 7 or 8 this year, then assaulted her again in Mascot a few days later.
Fenech also stands accused of assaulting the woman and causing actual bodily harm in Haberfield on January 22.
He was arrested in the southern Sydney suburb of Mascot on January 25 just minutes after he allegedly assaulted the woman again.
