NRL star Michael Lichaa acquitted of domestic violence charges against former fiancee Kara Childerhouse
An NRL star nearly died after losing 2.5 litres of blood when he slashed himself while punching a window when he caught his fiancee performing a sex act on one of his teammates, a court has heard.
Ex-Sharks and Bulldogs hooker Michael Lichaa, 29, was on Friday acquitted of domestic violence charges after his former fiancee, Kara Childerhouse, declined to testify against him.
But he also detailed how the ugly incident forced him to change his life for the better.
After waking up to find Childerhouse in his backyard performing a sexual act on his former Bulldogs teammate Adam Elliott, he flew into a rage, the court was told.
In a state of shock, and still affected by alcohol after drinking all afternoon and into the early morning at his home, a torrent of expletives rained from his mouth in disbelief.
He stormed inside, followed by Elliott, where he punched the glass window on his front door, cutting his arm badly as he pulled it from the frame.
Concerned neighbours, who reported hearing a man scream "I'm going to f***ing kill her", called emergency services.
