Young Johnny was walking from school to his home in Victor Street, when he passed the side gate of a house at number 1 Jindalee Circuit.

He looked in to see a man and a woman arguing. As he looked on, Johnny saw the man hit the woman across the face in anger.

He kept walking and noted that a white car was parked outside the home. Who was the man with the white car?
