LUKE SPICER'S BRUTAL ATTACK IN TENBY: A SHOCKING CRIME IN PEMBROKESHIRE
| Red Rose Database
Tenby Domestic Abuser
In a disturbing incident that unfolded in the seaside town of Tenby, Pembrokeshire, a man named Luke Spicer carried out a violent assault on his partner during what was supposed to be a trip aimed at repairing their strained relationship. The assault was both savage and unprovoked, leaving a trail of physical and emotional trauma.
According to reports, Spicer’s attack involved him punching his girlfriend to the ground with considerable force. While she was vulnerable and seated on the pavement, he continued his assault by kicking her repeatedly in the face. Witnesses described her as being defenseless at the time, and her screams for help echoed through the streets. Instead of showing remorse or attempting to assist her, Spicer nonchalantly walked away from the scene, leaving her injured and distressed. The woman managed to seek refuge and assistance from staff members at a nearby hotel, who promptly contacted emergency services. When police officers arrived at the scene, they found her with a swollen eye and in a state of emotional distress, described as 'hysterical' by the responding officers.
Further investigations led officers to locate Spicer later that day along the seafront in Tenby. It was revealed that he had been drinking heavily, having consumed multiple bottles of wine and pints of alcohol. During questioning, Spicer admitted to losing control during the incident, confessing that he had 'snapped' amidst the chaos. He also acknowledged that he had 'given her the boot,' indicating a physical altercation that extended beyond the initial punch and kick.
The court proceedings shed light on the troubled history of Spicer’s relationship with the victim. It was disclosed that their relationship began in the summer of 2021 but gradually deteriorated over time. Spicer’s increasing paranoia, exacerbated by alcohol consumption and his mental health issues, contributed to the breakdown. The woman recounted how Spicer would call her at random hours, demanding to know her whereabouts and insisting she send him videos to prove her honesty. In February, she decided to end the relationship, but Spicer begged her for another chance. They agreed to take a break in Pembrokeshire, hoping to reconcile.
However, during their stay, after a night of heavy drinking, tensions escalated into violence. An argument erupted, culminating in Spicer physically assaulting his partner—punching and kicking her, which resulted in her injuries and her calling the police. The assault was captured on a doorbell camera, footage that Spicer later viewed with remorse, crying and admitting that he struggled with anger and alcohol issues. His criminal history includes convictions for grievous bodily harm during his youth, as well as for inflicting actual bodily harm during a mass brawl. He also previously received a 12-month suspended sentence for dangerous driving.
At his sentencing, Judge Paul Thomas QC described the attack as 'grotesquely brutal' and sentenced Spicer to a total of 12 months in prison. This sentence comprised six months for the assault and an additional six months activated from his suspended sentence. Spicer is expected to serve half of this time in custody before being released on license. Support organizations such as Lifecentre, NAPAC, One in Four, Safeline, The Survivors Trust, and Rape Crisis England & Wales are available to assist victims of abuse and violence, emphasizing the importance of seeking help and support in the aftermath of such traumatic events.
