MAN JAILED FOR LEAVING WOMAN BLEEDING AND CRYING HYSTERICALLY TO RESCUER
A Grimsby man received a two-year prison sentence from a judge who aimed to demonstrate the court’s approach to domestic violence cases.During the hearing, Judge Michael Fanning described the incident as 'grotesque,' pointing out that the victim was left bloodied, crying hysterically, and with torn clothing as she sought help from a neighbor.
She has since moved into a women’s refuge following the attack that occurred on Sunday, March 14, 2021, at her home on Gervase Holles Way in Nunsthorpe.
Jason Yah Yim Lui admitted to assaulting his partner by delivering repeated punches.
Prosecutor Jeremy Evans told Grimsby Crown Court that the relationship had been tumultuous for seven years before ending.
Although Lui was involved with a new woman he met online, he continued residing in the same house with his partner.
The violence was triggered when a disagreement arose over an iPad that Lui couldn’t operate, resulting in him slapping her.
Following this, she sent a message to his new partner, blaming her for his violent outburst, which angered Lui.
He then grabbed her around the neck, tore her clothes, and punched her multiple times.
The woman managed to escape, bleeding and distressed, and called for help from a neighbor who also administered first aid.
She was described as 'crying hysterically.' Later, the woman became seriously ill with an unrelated condition, necessitating a liver transplant and blood transfusions.
Defense lawyer Saleen Khan explained Lui’s emotional and financial stress from his struggling business, which might have contributed to his aggression, but did not excuse his actions.
He stated that Lui feels remorseful and is still facing difficulties related to his business, which provides employment for four workers.
Judge Fanning called the attack 'grotesque, prolonged, and persistent,' warning that many perpetrators, while appearing respectable or responsible, hide their abusive tendencies.
The two-year imprisonment reflects the court’s message that domestic violence is taken seriously.
