A MAN who “cannot control his temper” after drinking assaulted his partner twice after getting out of prison. Jason Beech had only been back in the community for a matter of weeks after a conviction for biting a man on the ear outside a pub in Swansea.
A judge at Swansea Crown Court said it was clear that, when in drink, painter and decorator Jason Beech is a “violent man who cannot control his temper”.
Ryan Bowen, prosecuting, told the court that 54-year-old Beech and the complainant had been in a relationship for eight years before the defendant was jailed in October last year. After Beech’s release from custody, the relationship was “rekindled”, the barrister said.
The court heard that on January 25 this year, the defendant went to the George pub in Swansea before going to his partner's house, and in the early hours they began arguing.
