Tristan Douglas Roger Siegers in court after vicious two-day assault on his partner at Burpengary

A woman was left bruised and battered after her partner of 22 years unleashed a two-day assault while on drugs at their home north of Brisbane.

A court has heard how a father unleashed a two-day barrage of punching and kicking his partner while using ice at their home north of Brisbane.

Tristan Douglas Roger Siegers, 37, of Bargara, faced the Caboolture Magistrates Court on September 30, 2022, charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm- domestic violence offence, common assault and contravention of a domestic violence order.

The court heard on February 26 and 27 in Burpengary, Siegers unleashed on his partner in what his lawyer described as an out-of-character assault.

The court heard on February 26, Siegers struck his partner in the face multiple times, knocking her to the ground.

When she stood up, Siegers punched her twice in the stomach causing her to become winded.

On the next day, the court heard when Siegers’ partner had been sitting on the floor, he hit her in the face multiple times with an open hand and in the arms causing bruising.

The court then heard he also kicked her in the legs.

Tristan Douglas Roger Siegers leaving the Caboolture Magistrate Court after his appearance for assaulting his partner of 22 years.

Police prosecutor Sergeant V Crossley told the court when Siegers’ partner stood up, he punched her between the eyes, causing her to hit her head on the floor, before he continued to slap her in the face.

“This assault was very forceful, very vicious,” Sgt Crossley said.

“We’re not talking about a one-off incident, where somebody completely lost control, it was a prolonged assault on a woman.

“Your honour can see from the photographs of the injuries that the victim sustained.”

Siegers had his mother, brother and employer from LJ Crete supporting him in court.

His lawyer Martin Longhurst said it wasn’t so much as an ice fuelled rampage, it was the lack of sleep that’s associated with ice, causing Siegers to become irritable over those two days.

“He’s not normally like he was on that day,” Mr Longhurst said.

“Warts and all he doesn’t come here today saying there was some overwhelming row that caused him to lose his cool, it was a descent into ice use

“He calls these evil acts

“While Sergeant Crossley is correct to say it is not a one-off event, they are two complete snaps that respectfully do not define my client.”

Mr Longhurst told the court that Siegers has an 18-year-old child with his ex-partner, who he met in high school.

The court heard Siegers grew up in Papua New Guinea where he was exposed to domestic violence in the household.

Mr Longhurst added Siegers finished high school at Clontarf and was named apprentice of the year two times in a row, before starting his own business which closed down when Covid-19 hit.

He now works as a concreter for LJ Crete.

“These are terrible acts, yes but he’s someone that before these things, was a very good example of someone coming from a difficult background and leading quite a good life,” Mr Longhurst said.

“This is two days of his life that has turned his world upside down.”

Magistrate Peter Hasted sentenced Siegers to 24 months imprisonment for the two charges of assault occasioning bodily harm- domestic violence offence and six months for common assault, with a parole release date of today.

Convictions were recorded.
