Emily Lewis was beaten by her boyfriend of three years in an attack so brutal she begged him to kill her to stop the pain
A woman brutally beaten by her violent partner has told how she asked him to kill her to take away the pain. Thomas Jones was high on cocaine and alcohol when he carried out the violent assault on his then partner.
Jones, who had no previous convictions, is now starting an 18-month jail term for the attack. He also attacked Emily's mum when she came to her aid and he was given a separate 2-month sentence which will run concurrently with the longer term. The two had gone out in Swansea with friends and while the evening started out having fun Jones' behaviour changed when they went into a second venue which she believed led to him getting thrown out.
Today she says her clear memory of that night was the "excruciating" pain she was in and how she just wanted it to end. She said: “While I was on the floor he was me repeatedly to the point where I was in so much pain I told him to kill me because I couldn’t stand it any more,” she said. “I was hurting everywhere. He had battered me all over.”
“I was in a hospital gown and my phone was dead. I was pumped full of painkillers like morphine but I could still feel the pain. I woke up in absolute agony.” At the sentencing hearing prosecutor Alycia Carpanini told Judge Paul Thomas KC how Jones had previously denied the offence but then changed his plea to guilty to charges of inflicting grievous bodily harm and battery just minutes before his trial was due to begin in July. She said aggravating features of the attack include the fact Jones was high on drugs and alcohol at the time as well as carrying out the assault in a domestic setting.
