A domestic abuser who terrorised his partner with a zombie knife during a brutal attack has been jailed after 'dog cam' footage allowed police to bring a victimless prosecution. Anthony Murgatroyd had a motion-sensor camera set up in the living room of the victim's home in Cross Green, Leeds, to find out why the dog was chewing the furniture.
However, when Murgatroyd brutally attacked the woman on November 5 after an argument about him seeing prostitutes, the camera triggered and captured vital evidence. During the attack, Murgatroyd dragged the victim into the street and was seen hitting her.
She escaped back inside the living room but he followed her before hitting her in the head and pulling her about by her hair. He then grabbed the zombie knife and lunged at her, pushing it towards her face and making slashing motions to her body.
