A man who battered his partner in a three-year campaign of domestic abuse has sued his victim - to seize the sofa which he attacked her on.
Christopher Forrest, 41, was jailed for 27 months last year after being caught on a "doggy cam" assaulting Elizabeth Shanks at her home.
His horrific violence, which saw him choke his victim, threaten to kill her and throw her against a car, left Elizabeth mentally and physically scarred.
