Dad hit himself with frying pan after baby injured in ex-girlfriend attack

A man launched a brutal attack on his ex-girlfriend while she was holding their one year old baby, a court has heard.

Dean Oakley, 33, of Methuen Street, Liverpool, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday to be sentenced after attacking his ex-girlfriend and hurting their one-year-old child. Frank Dillon, prosecuting explained that Oakley and the victim, who the ECHO has chosen not to name, had been in a relationship for eight years but when she found out she was pregnant, she ended the relationship.

On December 31, 2022, after a period of separation, the victim was at her home when the defendant turned up and an argument ensued during which Oakley verbally abused her and took her house keys. Mr Dillon said: “This incident was not reported but because further visits by the defendant were possible, she went to her mother's home address and stayed until Monday January 2, 2023.”
