A woman beater blinded his ex partner by punching her to the face while holding his mobile phone and fractured her eye socket. He smirked throughout the attack and went on the run for a month when the police were called.
Craig Gibson, 33, assaulted his then partner at her home in Barry at around 6am on December 29 last year when he turned up at her home "extremely intoxicated". She refused to let him in after he threw stones at her window but he wouldn't take no for an answer and charged the door down.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday heard the victim felt fearful as the defendant made his way upstairs and proceeded to punch or slap her to the face three times. During the assault, Gibson said to the woman "F****** hell, look what you have done now".
