John Davies has a shocking history of violence which led to him receiving an indeterminate sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP).
The crook was then jailed for 18 years for possessing a handgun and supplying and conspiring to supply cocaine.
The 46-year-old was released in October 2020 and said he was "determined to lead a law-abiding lifestyle".
But he is now back behind bars after his partner rang 999 from her bathroom and whispered: "I've been badly beaten up by my partner. He's coming up the stairs. He's going to kill me."
Liverpool Crown Court heard Adele Bradshaw said they had been in a relationship for around a year.
However, Davies said they "supported each other with their various problems and were occasionally intimate" but denied they were in a relationship.
Demolition begins on Hughes House in Liverpool
Demolition works have started on an iconic Liverpool building to make way for over 200 apartments.
TJ Hughes has sat at the heart of London Road for almost 100 years, but changes are on the way.
Last year, plans were submitted to convert Audley House, the current site of TJ Hughes on London Road, into a new residential complex with 266 apartments.
The proposals came as demolition works began to get underway next door on the former Hughes House, which will see it become home to almost 250 apartments.
If you are passing by the once iconic building, you will notice that demolition works have already started at Hughes House on London Road.
Images by the ECHO captures the demolition in progress as work begins on gutting the building.
Tyson Fury and family mobbed by fans as they're spotted in Merseyside
Two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and family were spotted on Merseyside today, March 4.
The 33-year-old took a trip to Newton-le-Willows High Street, where they were spotted by excited locals who mobbed the larger than life character for pictures.
Professional boxer brother Tommy Fury, and dad John were alongside Tyson.
The Manchester-born star last took to the ring in October 2021, where he defeated Deontay Wilder in the third of their trilogy fights.
He is set to take on Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium next month.
It is uncertain why the superstar was seen in the small Merseyside market town, but locals were more than happy to see him as he visited a coffee shop on the High Street.
