A thug armed with a meat cleaver threatened to kill his girlfriend during a violent attack that left her with serious injuries.
Jordan Storey brutally assaulted his partner while dishing out menacing threats and smashing up her property in the early hours of January 9. The 31-year-old's attack was so violent, the woman believed he dislocated her shoulder, to which he replied: "Stop being so dramatic, it's just dislocated".
Storey, of Stratton Street, Spennymoor, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Thursday to be sentenced for assault occasioning actual bodily harm, threats to kill, and criminal damage. He had pleaded guilty to the charges at a previous hearing.
