Ex-boyfriend punched woman in bed and shaved her hair as he couldn't accept relationship was over

A woman feared her ex-boyfriend was going to kill her as he rained punches down on her in bed and shaved off her hair. Adam Baines was branded "every woman's worst nightmare" in court.

Baines, 27, admitted attacking the 26-year-old mum, who said her ex partner couldn't face up to the fact their "all-consuming" relationship was over. The court heard he had called her after she broke off the relationship, insisting he was "in control" of her, Grimsby Live reports.

The woman suffered the "horrific" ordeal while she was unwell in bed, as Baines donned a black balaclava and gloves to carry out the attack. He then gave a chilling warning to his ex, that she would be "in the boot of a car for three hours" next time.
