A man punched his partner to the ground and kicked her in the face as she sat defenceless on the pavement during a trip to Tenby which had been designed to rekindle their relationship. After launching what a judge described as a "grotesquely brutal attack" Luke Spicer casually walked away from girlfriend and left her screaming on the floor.
The woman sought help from staff in a nearby hotel who called the police. Officers searched the seaside town for Spicer and when they found him he told them he had "snapped" before adding he had also "given her the boot".
Sian Cutter, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court that Spicer and the woman began their relationship in the summer of 2021 and it was initially fine but as the months went by the defendant's drinking became an issue. The court heard during the course of the relationship Spicer became increasingly paranoid about his partner seeing other men – so much so that he began ringing her at random times wanting to know where she was and who she was with and demanding she send him videos to prove what she was saying was true.
