Bully repeatedly attacked girlfriend in violent assaults

THUG'S 'HISTORY OF VIOLENCE' DURING VOLATILE RELATIONSHIP

- By MARK NAYLOR

A VIOLENT bully viciously attacked his girlfriend on three separate occasions, including strangling her during one frightening confrontation and leaving her with a black eye after another bad-tempered assault.

The “terrifying” incidents were “extremely upsetting” for her and there was a “history of violence” during the volatile relationship, Hull Crown Court heard.

Billy Chadwick, 19, of St John's Grove, east Hull, admitted intentional strangulation between August 1 and 31 last year, two offences of assault causing actual bodily harm between March 1 and 31 last year and an offence of causing criminal damage on January 31 this year.

Hannah Turner, prosecuting, said that Chadwick was in a relationship with his girlfriend between August 2023 and April last year.
