An army veteran grabbed his terrified partner by the neck and strangled her as she tried to call the police for help in a booze-fuelled attack.
McCauley Saville, who had an "unhealthy relationship with alcohol", then continued to punch and slap the woman in her flat above a pub. Appearing at Hull Crown Court, the 22-year-old admitted strangulation of his girlfriend and assaulting her, causing actual bodily harm.
He also admitted other offences of assaulting her and causing criminal damage, Hull Live reports. Prosecutor Cathy Kioko-Gilligan said that the couple had been together since November 2021 and, at the time, Saville was living between the homes of his girlfriend and his father.
