A thug carried out a vicious beating on his now ex-partner and left her fearing she would be killed.
Paul Edwards punched the woman in the face and prevented her from leaving the home by putting her keys in his pocket in order to continue the beating. The 35-year-old also took her phone during the incident and began to strangle her.
The violent attack left the woman believing she would be killed before Edwards eventually left the scene. The woman and her toddler who - was also in the house - then escaped out of a window after Edwards locked them inside.
