Gosforth domestic violence thug who strangled and dragged partner by hair walks free

A domestic violence thug who strangled his partner and dragged her around by her hair in a terrifying attack has walked free from court.

Thomas Lowther's victim begged him "please don't kill" me as he launched an attack after a night out. A court heard she was left in pain for around three months and has been traumatised by what happened to her.

Lowther, of Gosforth, Newcastle, denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm but was found guilty after a trial. He has now been given a suspended prison sentence and ordered to do unpaid work.
