A domestic abuser stamped on his partner's head and threatened to "chop her up" during a brief, but violent relationship.
Michael Jobes became "paranoid" and "controlling" during the six-month relationship after believing his then-partner was cheating on him. The 34-year-old demanded to know who she was messaging before he launched a brutal attack that left her battered and bleeding.
Jobes appeared at Durham Crown Court, via link from HMP Durham, on Wednesday to be sentenced for assault occasioning actual bodily harm, harassment, and criminal damage. He pleaded guilty to the charges at a previous hearing.
