A cowardly brute strangled his partner to the point she thought she was about to die when a Halloween party ended in a horrific attack.
John Wilson and the woman had attended her sister's house and all was going well until he suddenly lost his temper and hit her with a bottle. The woman returned home and Wilson then saw red again and ended up throttling her for so long she felt she was about to lose consciousness before stamping on her.
Now he has been jailed at Newcastle Crown Court for what a judge branded a "cowardly" and "terrifying" attack in Blyth, Northumberland.
