AN aggressive and jealous woman repeatedly punched her terrified girlfriend, gripped her around the neck and threatened to kill her after angrily accusing the woman of cheating on her.

Drug user Poppy Tyson had been “smoking far too much cannabis” before the violent attack and the shocked victim had been left suffering “horrendous” sleep problems and flashbacks, Hull Crown Court heard.

Tyson, 25, of All Saints Street, off Beverley Road, Hull, but recently in custody on remand, admitted assaulting the woman on May 11 and assaulting her, causing actual bodily harm, on June 8. She denied intentional strangulation and making threats to kill and those charges were dropped, although the details still formed part of the overall prosecution case.
