Groom broke his wife's back in brutal attack just weeks after their wedding - then refused to take her to hospital

A violent groom broke his wife's back just weeks after their wedding and then refused to take her to hospital. Jonathan Hall, 45, repeatedly kicked his new wife, Amanda Lomax, who feared she would die as she lay defenceless on the floor.

The horrific attack came weeks after the couple were married. Following two further attacks, Amanda bravely went to the police and is now rebuilding her life after Hall was this week jailed for 27 months.

Mum-of-two Amanda, 51, says: "I had put up with years and years of abuse and I was completely brainwashed. I actually believed the attacks were my fault. Less than a month after we got married, he attacked me and broke my back.
