A thug burst into his ex-girlfriend's house brandishing a baseball bat while she was in the shower then threatened to crash into the shop where she worked.
Mark Rooney then went on to form a new relationship but attacked this partner too. The 35-year-old threw a can of beer at his second victim's head at a campsite and said he wanted to burn her face with a barbeque before knocking her out.
Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday afternoon, Monday, that he formed a "volatile" relationship with the first complainant in November 2020. The couple went on holiday together during September last year, but Rooney assaulted her and "behaved in a threatening manner" while they were away.
