—————————————————————————————————— TELFORD ABUSER JAILED AGAIN —————————————————————————————————— A Telford man has been handed a 15-month prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to assaulting his partner.
Connor Buchanan, of Wallet Drive in Muxton, was sentenced on Friday (9 January) at Shrewsbury Crown Court after he previously admitted aggravated bodily harm, criminal damage and three counts of intentional strangulation.
During the hearing, the court was told how the 24-year-old had been in a relationship with the victim when he carried out the attacks, which left her with black eyes, a split lip and bruising.
Buchanan damaged the victim’s property, such as TVs and her phones.
He isolated her from family friends and would threaten to destroy more of her property if she did not comply.
In July 2025, Buchanan was arrested and later charged with the offences, as well as controlling and coercive behaviour, which he was not sentenced for but will lie on file.
Detective Constable Ellie Phillips, from Telford’s Protecting Vulnerable People team, said: “Buchanan subjected his victim to a series of domestic abuse and violence during their relationship.
“Thanks to the bravery of his victim for coming forward and supporting our investigation it led to this dangerous offender being given a custodial sentence.
“The fear of violence his victim had to live with is unimaginable, and we hope this result gives her the opportunity to move forward with her life knowing Buchanan is in prison.”
