WARRINGTON MAN JAILED FOR SEVERE DOMESTIC ASSAULT AND ABUSE
A man named Daniel Little, aged 34, from Warrington, Cheshire, was involved in a severe domestic assault and false imprisonment of his partner, Rosie Frankish.Rosie, 26, had endured years of abuse, including being assaulted while pregnant and subjected to emotional and physical control.
The incident culminated when Little forced his way into her home and launched a six-hour attack, during which he pinned her against the fridge, assaulted her repeatedly, and smeared dog faeces in her face.
Rosie managed to secretly alert a taxi driver during a ride and instructed him to drive away without stopping, which ultimately helped her escape.
She suffered from severe injuries like bruises, cuts, a black eye, and hearing loss.
Little was arrested shortly afterward, admitted to assault and false imprisonment in court, and was sentenced to three years and seven months in prison, of which he will serve half.
Rosie expressed her relief and resilience, stating, 'He could have killed me that night and perhaps he would have, if it wasn’t for the taxi ride.' She also shared the long history of abuse she suffered, beginning during her pregnancy, including controlling behaviors, threats, and violence.
Despite her trauma, she is dedicated to rebuilding her life, and her case emphasizes the ongoing issue of domestic violence.
Little's past includes 17 convictions for 34 offences, mainly relating to violence, making his current sentence a significant outcome for justice.
