A man deliberately poured boiling water over his pet cat, leaving him in 'excruciating pain' was one of the criminals hauled before courts in Greater Manchester this week.
Prison terms were handed to a 'bodybuilder' who sucker punched a defenceless mum when she challenged him over slapping a woman in a pub, just weeks after he'd escaped from prison.
A drunk thug who defaced his ex-partner's car before sending threatening voice notes after she refused to let him in her home was also hauled before courts in our region.
