An 'evil' man who abused his partner days before she died of a drug overdose was one of the criminals jailed in Greater Manchester this week.
A man who stole two watches from a pawnbrokers worth more than £20,000 has also been put behind bars. A man who brandished a machete in park full of children was also hauled before court this week but avoided jail.
Jail sentences are handed out to the worst offenders each week and Manchester Evening News reporters are in court to cover the most serious cases.
