A 'Jekyll and Hyde' thug who suffocated, bit and pointed a fake gun at his girlfriend in a series of frenzied and violent rages has been jailed.
Jason Dyer, 37, of Patterdale Avenue in Ashton-Under-Lyne, who pleaded guilty to coercive and controlling behaviour, assault and intentional suffocation, was sentenced to prison at Minshull Street Crown Court, on December 16.
Prosecuting, Helen Longworth told the court how Dyer had been in a brief relationship with the complainant between February and June earlier this year.
