Andrew Ashcroft denies preventing Jasmine Hartin kids access and says she made ...

The partner of a Canadian socialite who is facing trial in Belize after the shooting of a police chief has denied he ever prevented her from seeing their children.

A statement from Andrew Ashcroft, 43, in which he reportedly never told his former partner Jasmine Hartin that she could not see their children, has been shared by local media outlets while the mother-of-two prepares for her manslaughter trial.

In the full three page statement, believed to have been shared with police before being released on social media, Mr Ashcroft recalls his version of events from June 22 and claims Hartin has made 'unreasonable demands'. 

The statement reads: 'At no time have I told Jasmine that she cannot see her children.' 

On June 22, an explosive video in which 32-year-old wealthy socialite Hartin lambasted the youngest son of Lord Ashcroft, and accused him of refusing her access to the couple's children, was made public.

Hartin was released on bail earlier this week as she awaits trial for shooting Superintendent Henry Jemmott, a father-of-five, with his own service pistol in May, which she says was an accident.

In an interview with 

"7 News Belize, Hartin said the Ashcroft family was told to 'distance' themselves from her, adding that she wasn't allowed to speak to her infant twins while she was in Belize Central Prison.

The couple have been embroiled in a bitter public row since Hartin was charged with manslaughter in the Caribbean hotspot of Belize earlier this year.

Jasmine Hartin claimed no-one from the family of her former partner Andrew Ashcroft visited her while she was on bail over the shooting because they had been told they couldn't have 'bad press associated with their reputation'.
