PATRICK LAMBOURNE FROM LOSTWITHIEL SENTENCED AFTER VIOLENT ATTACKS ON EX PARTNER IN ST AUSTELL AND LOSTWITHIEL

A man identified as Patrick Lambourne, hailing from Lostwithiel, has been sentenced following a series of violent incidents involving his former partner in the areas of Lostwithiel and St Austell. The court proceedings, held at Truro Crown Court, revealed a troubling pattern of aggressive behavior that culminated in serious assaults and emotional trauma for the victim.

According to court records, Lambourne became involved with his then-partner in 2022, during a period when she was pregnant with a child from another man. Despite the complexities of their relationship, Lambourne took an active role in raising the child after his birth. However, his conduct deteriorated over time, with incidents of alcohol-fueled violence and jealousy.

One notable incident occurred in July of that year when the victim’s son fell ill and was hospitalized. During this stressful time, Lambourne reportedly spent the entire day drinking at a local pub while his partner and her son recuperated at her mother’s house. The court heard that when she attempted to prevent Lambourne from driving while intoxicated, he responded with violence, assaulting her in the process.

Further trouble arose in December, when Lambourne was out watching football at a local pub. Meanwhile, his partner was at their shared residence in Lostwithiel with her son, her mother, and a male friend, also watching football. Upon learning that her male friend was visiting, Lambourne, who was intoxicated, became enraged. At approximately 3 a.m., he arrived at the property demanding entry. His behavior was aggressive and uninvited, and he attempted to force his way inside.

During this confrontation, Lambourne pushed his ex-partner onto the sofa and physically assaulted her by placing his hands around her neck, causing her voice to become hoarse for days due to the pressure. He also inflicted an injury to her arm. The victim and her friend managed to push Lambourne outside and locked the door, leaving him outside in the freezing cold to cool off. Despite being expelled from the premises, Lambourne lingered outside her flat for most of the day, causing further distress.

The court was informed that Lambourne, then 24 years old and residing on Woodland Close in St Austell, pleaded guilty to charges of common assault and causing actual bodily harm. The victim provided a harrowing victim impact statement, describing her fear during the December incident, stating she was
