A dangerous thug held his vulnerable partner's head under bath water during a terrifying attack in which she thought she was going to die.
Connor Ninian had only being going out with the woman for a few weeks when he turned from loving boyfriend to controlling and violent brute. A court heard he tried to stop the woman, who has serious psychological issues, contacting her mother and confiscated her phone.
When she tried to get it back, he launched a ferocious attack, biting and repeatedly punching her before feigning remorse. In a "sinister" move, he then lured her to the bathroom, pretended he was sorry and encouraged her to get into a bath he had run for her so she cold relax.
