A drunken dad threated to stab his heavily pregnant partner in the neck with a pint glass during a relationship marred by domestic violence.
Stewart Morrison slapped his former partner, "squeezed" her neck, and called her degrading names between January and March this year, leaving her terrified about the safety of her unborn child. The 41-year-old, who was described as looking "crazy" by the woman, also pressed a pint glass on her neck and threatened to stab her during one violent incident.
On Tuesday, Morrison appeared at Durham Crown Court to be sentenced for assault by beating and affray. He pleaded guilty to the charges at a previous hearing.
