A WOMAN hit her former partner on the head with a saucepan as he slept.

- 

Kelly Cavanagh made the attack on Dennis Williams while he was sitting on a sofa during an incident of domestic abuse.

Cavanagh, 35, of Llys Talar, Pendalar, Caernarfon, admitted a wounding charge. A judge at Caernarfon Crown Court heard she has mental health problems and gave her a 16-month jail term suspended for 18 months.

The court heard Cavanagh and Mr Williams had been in a relationship for six years and had four children. Both adults would drink and become violent, the court heard.

In February 2024, Mr Williams went to Cavanagh's home to take the children to school. But he sat on a sofa and fell asleep. It was then that Cavanagh hit him on the head with a saucepan.
