A man beat his pregnant partner with a chair leg and strangled her until she passed-out during a vicious attack.
Kenneth Chisholm left his partner with numerous injuries, including bruising and swelling to her face, after dragging her around by her hair and subjecting her to a violent beating on August 11 this year. When the 35-year-old was arrested, he admitted, "I shouldn't have brayed her", before going on to kick two officers back at the police station.
Chisholm, of Simpson Road, West Auckland, Bishop Auckland, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Tuesday via video link from HMP Durham to be sentenced for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two counts of assaulting an emergency worker. He had pleaded guilty to the charges.
