A sadistic ‘monster’ left his girlfriend fearing for her life after subjecting her to a terrifying attack in a Travelodge hotel room.
Sean Mellin’s victim described him as being ‘demonic’ and behaving like a man possessed during the appalling ordeal, in which she was repeatedly strangled.
The 30-year-old woman had previously been attacked by Mellin, 40, but felt he wouldn’t continue his behaviour in a hotel where members of the public were close by.
