Anthony Koletti, the widower of Melissa Caddick, fronts court to contest allegations that he shoulder-barged a 73-year-old woman at a clifftop reserve in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, in the Vaucluse area. Multiple outlets report that prosecutors allege Koletti assaulted the woman by barging into her during an incident at the reserve.
Koletti disputes the allegations and says police conduct during an interview misled and intimidated him. The reports describe his claims that officers used intimidation or “tricked” him during questioning over the alleged assault. Koletti’s defence positions these alleged police actions as affecting the interview process.
The reporting also notes that the matter is being dealt with in court as Koletti seeks to fight the assault charges. Across sources, the core points remain consistent: an alleged shoulder-barging incident at a clifftop reserve in Vaucluse and Koletti’s contention that police behaved improperly during the interview leading to the allegations against him.
