Heaton killer Geoffrey Bulman headbutted, punched and poked partner's eye in the same house he beat his dad to death

A convicted killer is back behind bars for headbutting, punching and poking his partner in the eye in the house where he took his dad's life.

Geoffrey Bulman was jailed for six years in 2016 for the manslaughter of his dad, George, after suspecting him of having sex with his partner, raining multiple blows on the 71-year-old, including when he was lying in bed. He was originally charged with murder but was cleared of that.

Bulman was recalled to prison in 2018 for harassing an ex partner but after getting out he began a relationship with another woman, who he had been with for around three weeks in August last year. Newcastle Crown Court heard things were fine to begin with but he turned jealous and aggressive and smashed her phone, giving her a replacement which he would answer for her.
