A brute knelt on his partner's neck and kicked her in the mouth after drinking on Christmas Day.
Steven Ashcroft launched the violent attack during the early hours of Boxing Day after drinking pints and Jagerbombs in the pub. The 45-year-old smashed up the woman's home before throwing objects at her.
When she ended up on the floor, he knelt on the woman's neck twice. She was stuck between the wall and bed and told him she couldn't breath. Ashcroft hit her on the back of the head and kicked her in the mouth.
