A Newcastle man carried out two violent attacks on his partner and left her feeling "permanently disfigured".
Shaun Moules injured the woman's back using a key and knocked her tooth out in one assault, before going on to stamp on her body and kick her in the face during a second attack. At one stage, the 42-year-old was also preparing to hit her with a "large glass ornament" before police turned up to arrest him.
Moules, of Campbell Place, Elswick, Newcastle, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court via link from HMP Durham on Tuesday to be sentenced for two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He had pleaded guilty to the offences.
