During an incident, Kate's sister tried to intervene but Giggs ended up attacking her too. Peter Wright QC, prosecuting, told jurors at crown court in Manchester, "Emma tried to pull the defendant off her sister. For her pains the defendant, we say, deliberately elbowed her in the jaw causing her discomfort and shock that he would turn violence on to her as well her sister.” The argument between Giggs and Kate is then said to have moved into the kitchen."
"At that stage, we say, the defendant entirely lost self-control and he deliberately headbutted Kate, thereby causing swelling to her lips and bruising."
"Emma then called the police, who attended the premises." Wright also claimed that Giggs stated that the headbutt incident was an accidental clash of heads.
