A man from Crewe has been jailed for his repeated violent behaviour towards his partner.
Mark Watson, from Frank Bott Avenue in Crewe, appeared at Chester Crown Court on 1st June to be sentenced after pleading guilty to assault, intentional strangulation, and coercive and controlling behaviour.
The 36-year-old was jailed for 30 months after admitting his sustained and violent actions towards the victim and his controlling behaviour.
Over the course of their two-year relationship, he berated her, beat her, strangled her, and isolated her from her friends and family.
He refused to let her socialise with him and he drilled the lock on the door to prevent her from being able to lock it.
PC Jamie Blyth said:
“The victim was terrified of Watson and had permanent injuries caused by him - some of which require ongoing monitoring and treatment at hospital.
“The violence stopped when Watson’s mask slipped in front of the victim’s dad. He began to realise that his daughter was hiding a terrifying secret. When she finally told him of the horrifying treatment she had been subjected to, he convinced to get help by going to the police. As a direct result Watson is now behind bars for his inexcusable and abhorrent actions.
“Dad was the hero here and a reminder to everyone that when they suspect something isn’t right, ask questions if you can, and help them make that first step by getting them to call the police, or call us yourself. It’s not interfering, its looking after others who can’t find their way out of a nightmare.”
