An abusive thug threatened to stab his girlfriend in the neck if he saw ‘blue lights’ as she dialled 999. Omar Ajmal, 36, had been separated from his partner for nine months when he turned up at her house and demanded to know who she’d been sleeping with.
He told her: “I just want to know who it is, tell me, I am going to give you one chance to tell me and I won’t hit you.” When the woman told him she hadn’t slept with anybody he went on to punch her repeatedly.
She later made up a name to try and make him stop, but he continued hitting her, Manchester Crown Court heard. The terrifying incident lasted for over two hours, during which he strangled her to the point she couldn’t breathe.
