A racist thug shouted 'I love you' to his current girlfriend as he was jailed for racially abusing his ex partner.
Andrew Murphy, 37, from Netherton, saw his ex partner in the street and called her a racial slur and 'a slag' before spitting at her and squeezing her neck with his hand. In a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday, March 18, the court heard four weeks before this first incident on March 10, 2020, the couple had broken up.
Stuart Mills, prosecuting, told the court: "He spat at her and had his hand on her throat squeezing her neck and forced her to the ground. Passers-by remonstrated with him and she took off. Sirens were heard and he fled.” He added the victim was left with minor bruising and swelling.
