A remorseless woman beater split his girlfriend's head open with a glass ashtray and jug before washing the blood from her hair.
Kevin Marshall told his victim "I may as well do you in, I'll only get seven years" before leaving her covered in blood in a cowardly attack.
A judge slammed him for his lack of empathy after he told a probation officer: "It weren't like she were bleeding out and asking for help, I carried on hitting her."
