Lee Ellison, 43, was recently jailed for the attack - and for coercive and controlling behaviour towards his former partner
A dad threatened to 'strangle the life out of' his children's mum as he throttled her following almost four years of abuse.
He said Ellison would 'constantly' ask for money for cannabis, which Ms Etchells felt compelled to give him to 'avoid him becoming angry and aggressive'. He would also 'constantly criticise her about her driving and parenting'. The pair split following a 2019 court case, in which Ellison was acquitted. A restraining order was however imposed.
Ellison only stopped when he heard a 'clicking sound' coming from her neck. Ms Etchells went to the police in March in this year, leading to Etchells' arrest. He said his client 'self medicates' with drugs such as cannabis and cocaine to try and 'deal with [his] anguish and difficulties'.
