The incident took place in Seltjarnarnes, where a woman was sentenced to a suspended 30-day prison term for attacking her ex-cohabitant after their relationship ended. Following the breakup, she described experiencing considerable distress which appeared to culminate in the physical assault. The court heard that the woman repeatedly kicked her ex-partner in the left leg, causing superficial injuries, and also struck him in the face with a clenched fist.

In her court proceedings, the woman admitted her wrongdoing without hesitation and expressed remorse for her actions. She presented a psychologist's certificate that confirmed she sought professional help due to her severe emotional distress related to the breakup and the subsequent interactions that followed. This explanation was taken into account during her sentencing.

The case highlights issues around mental health and domestic violence aftermaths, indicating the societal need for support systems for individuals experiencing intense emotional turmoil from relationship breakdowns. The event raises broader conversations on the appropriate handling of conflicts and emotional distress in intimate relationships, suggesting potential areas for community intervention and support.
