Terrified children barricaded themselves into a bedroom after their mum's violent ex-boyfriend burst in and strangled her.
Darren Wilson had turned up at the family home to speak about money, but the conversation quickly turned abusive and he accused his former partner of cheating, a court heard.
The 43-year-old said he wanted to charge his phone and get clothes he'd left at the address in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire.
