Victim told police that she was sent a large volume of abusive texts via Snapchat, WhatsApp and Facebook after one incident
A Belfast man who bit and poured paint over his ex-partner as part of an “appalling” campaign of violence has been jailed for four months.
Prosecutors said he used a kitchen knife to self-harm by cutting the back of his head and then smeared his blood into her face with force.A week later Spence was driving them back to his address when he began screaming and shouting at her so much that she felt she had to immediately get away from him.
“The injured party alleges that the defendant grabbed her by the hair, dragged her into the kitchen and pushed her to the ground before pouring paint onto her,” the prosecutor said.At one point he allegedly threw a television remote control at the woman, striking her on the head. Defence barrister Michael Boyd acknowledged the distress suffered by the victim, adding that the offences were fuelled by his client’s use of illicit substances.
