A wheelchair-bound Tongan prince has won a restraining order against his wife after telling a court he feared for his life after being clobbered with an electric fan stand.
Tonga’s Chief Justice Anthony Ford granted the order to Prince Tu’ipelehake, the cousin of King Siaosi Tupou V, banning his wife Makeleta Ene’io Tuku’aho from going within 50m of her husband without his consent.
The prince applied for the urgent restraining order on April 12 after his wife allegedly attacked him with the electric fan stand, causing cuts and bruises to his head, arms, legs and back.
Prince Tu’ipelehake, who lost a leg to diabetes, said he feared Ene’io would assault him again, endangering his life, according to court documents seen Thursday.
He also feared that Ene’io, his third wife, would make a spectacle of him at work, in public, or in parliament where he sits as a nobles’ representative and serves as Tonga’s agriculture and fisheries minister.
She was also ordered to remove her belongings from Tu’ipelehake’s home, and told to stay away from his office and parliament buildings.(AFP)

東加王國最高法院首席法官安東尼•福特批准杜皮里海克親王（國王杜包五世的表親）訴請的禁制令，規定其妻瑪柯蕾塔•艾妮埃歐•杜庫亞歐在未獲許可的情況下，必須與丈夫保持至少五十公尺的距離。
