DRUNKEN MAN JAILED FOR VICIOUS DOMESTIC ASSAULT AFTER ATTACKING GIRLFRIEND
A drunken bully who had downed 24 bottles of beer viciously punched and stamped on his helpless girlfriend during an "appalling" and "prolonged" attack that left her unconscious.He had a very toxic relationship with her, and the spark for the violence may have been that they both threw drinks over each other earlier in a pub.
He had been drinking heavily before the incident, which occurred on June 21, 2019.
During court, it was revealed he beat her repeatedly, standing over her and stamping on her, rendering her unconscious.
A witness intervened, and Addinell later told police "She deserves it." He also threw her phone at the wall, smashing it.
Addinell admitted assault causing actual bodily harm and was sentenced to 18 months in jail with an indefinite restraining order.
He had prior convictions.
The judge described the attack as "vicious" and emphasized that his conduct merited a significant custodial sentence.
