A man named Lee Horsfield has been sentenced to prison for serious abuse against his ex-partner.
Resident of Wharton Road, Horsfield had previously received a suspended sentence after attacking the same woman, involving strangulation, crushing injuries, and dragging her by her hair.
Ignoring both the suspension and an indefinite restraining order, Horsfield continued to disregard legal restrictions.
Upon his arrest, he admitted to police that he had forced the woman to the ground, stomped on her back, and caused a crush injury to her ankle.
Court proceedings detailed his misconduct further, resulting in a sentence of two years and ten months issued by Chester Crown Court on April 24.
Detective Constable Ellie Byrne commended the sentence, noting the seriousness of his actions and praising the victim's courage.
The court aimed to hold Horsfield accountable and deliver some measure of justice for the victim.
