Nobody actually said that because thats not what the dailymail claimed to have happened. Now I'll happily take your point, if he did return after the fact, he's in the wrong, but the originail article has the following quotes:-
Its fair enough if you'd rather believe the other papers than the dailymail (given their record, and even obvious bias in this story) but out of the three, they're the only paper that actually bothered to ask the guy why he did it. The rest seem to have published the womans side alone and given what she's said, I don't particularly believe her.
