The judge concluded he was a 'dangerous person'
A man who admitted intentionally strangling his partner at her Spalding home was today jailed for 34 months.
Lincoln Crown Court heard police were called to the woman’s Spalding home in Savoy Close on June 23 after Flatters put two hands on her throat at the top of the stairs. Mr Howes told the court Flatters was open with the woman about having been to prison, and she knew he was not allowed to stay at his home overnight when her two young children were present.
CCTV footage from outside the home showed Flatters shouting at his partner that he would now be going back to prison, and making a threat to burn her house. During police interview Flatters shrugged his shoulders when the strangulation matter was put to him. Judge Sjolin Knight said Flatters behaviour marked an escalation of his conduct towards other women, and she had concluded he was a “dangerous person.”The charge of non-fatal strangulation comes as a result of the creation of a new offence under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 which was introduced nationally on June 7, 2022.
