A terrified woman thought that she was going to die after her aggressive ex-boyfriend strangled her after a "petty" argument about the food that was used for a christening quickly turned nasty.
Liam Laidlaw has been branded a "violent bully" after he "flew at her" and held her by the throat so that she could not breathe during a frightening confrontation, Hull Crown Court heard.
Laidlaw, 24, of east Hull, admitted assaulting the woman, causing actual bodily harm, on June 20 last year, reports Hull Live.
