A vile thug throttled his girlfriend and put a pillow over her face after being released from prison for another attack on her.
Tyler Lowe had promised his victim that ‘things would be different’ and she had taken him back, despite it being against his release conditions and initially moving from Bolton to Wigan in a bid to avoid him. Just two days after smothering her, on June 28 of this year, Lowe returned to the woman’s home in Ince and 'smacked her onto the floor like a dog', and broke her phone, Bolton Crown Court heard.
A worried neighbour called police after hearing arguing and officers said that the victim was “shaking” when they arrived. The woman also “expressed previous fears that she might be killed”, prosecution barrister David Farley said.
