Christopher Savvery, aka Hill, first attacked his wife with a bed slat as she tried to hide from him in their Middlesbrough home. He struck her multiple times before she ran outside into their back-yard.

CCTV, which was shown in court, showed a naked Savvery chasing her with a brush before cornering and punching the cowering victim approximately 11 times. The court heard she was left severely traumatised by his abuse and is now unable to work or leave her home unaccompanied.

The attacks occurred on Febru-ary 27, 2021, when Savvery was intoxicated on drugs, Teesside Crown Court was told. Paul Newcombe, prosecuting said: “The defendant took one of the slats from the bed frame and struck her around the head, back and legs. The complainant ran outside and the defendant ran after her.”
