Summarised from Liverpool Echo's report · Updated 19 Oct, 17:28 · Archive

A man has been jailed for attacking his girlfriend during a relationship lasting six months.

Alex Hill, 42, of no fixed address, attacked his girlfriend Victoria Power during a relationship spanning six months that ended in court at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday. Ms Power told the court of the deterioration in their relationship: "I cannot believe what I put up with. It's like I was a different person."

The assaults included Hill throwing a glass at her head and dragging her around by her hair, causing injury. During a short break in Southport, Hill throttled Ms Power until she lost consciousness whilst making cruel remarks about her dead daughter. After Ms Power told Hill she wanted to end their relationship, he flipped over a coffee table and became verbally abusive, calling her derogatory names.

The judge said his actions left him "in no doubt" as to what the sentence should be, resulting in Hill's conviction.
