Husband broke helpless wife's back in brutal assault then refused to take her to hospital

An abusive husband broke his wife's back when he violently beat her while he was drunk and then refused to take her to hospital. Jonathan Hall, 47, ferociously kicked his wife multiple times in a row as she lay helplessly on the floor and begged him to stop.

The incident occurred only weeks after the couple tied the knot and was then followed with another two domestic attacks. Yesterday on September 21, Liverpool Crown Court heard that the shameful thug and his victim, Amanda Lomax had been together for around six years before they were married in September last year, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Amanda's mother however refused to attend the couple's wedding as she was ''appalled at the prospect'' of Hall being wed to her daughter due to the couple's already violent history. Police had been called to their house in Warrington "on several occasions", including once in 2019 when Hall allegedly broke her elbow - although he never faced criminal charges in relation to this accusation.
