53 year old Wayne Clarkson  of Atlow Drive, Wythenshawe, was sentenced to two years and nine months for domestic violence offences at Manchester Crown Court yesterday

He then became physical and assaulted his partner, which led to bruising and a blood shot eye while on another occassion she was hit around the head with an adapted mop handle, causing a head injury.

A third assault took place when Clarkson visited the victim’s address and assaulted her again.The victim managed to escape but Clarkson smashed items in the flat and stole the victim’s phone

PC Corrigan, of the GMP Domestic Abuse Team, said: “I would like to thank the victim and their family for coming forward and assisting our investigation.

“Clarkson subjected his victim to a series of abusive acts. Without the victim coming forward and reporting these incidents to the police, we would not have been able to secure today’s sentence.

“No one should have to undergo any form of physical violence and as a force, we are here to listen to you and are committed to providing the necessary support to help bring you justice.

“You should ever feel alone in such circumstances and in making contact with us, you are doing the right thing.”
