A thug told his then-partner she would be the "next Katie Piper" after years of horrific abuse.
Luke Coleman, 28, of Banner Street, Wigan had been in a relationship with the woman for a number of years which was "characterised" by physical and emotional abuse. During the two year period, police were called out 31 times following reports of violence or threats to violence.
Appearing before Manchester Crown Court, Gwen Henshaw, prosecuting, said that in one incident in January 2021, Coleman smashed the woman’s mobile phone onto her head and caused a wound that had to be glued. He hit her with such force the phone screen smashed, Manchester Evening News reported.
