A man who kicked his seven-month pregnant partner in the head and stomach during a sustained assault carried out in front of her mother was jailed today (Tuesday)
As she imposed a sentence of four years and eight months on George Wilgaus, which was divided equally between prison and licence, Judge Patricia Smyth told the 21-year old he acted in a “shocking and despicable way”.
Wilgaus, from Antrim Road in North Belfast, admitted a charge of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm with intent on his heavily pregnant partner on September 19 last year.
