The Magistrate's Court.

A MAN has been jailed for 12 months after terrorising his long-term girlfriend with months of domestic abuse which could have killed her.

On one occasion the 24-year-old man – a Polish national who the JEP has declined to name to protect the identity of his victim – smashed the woman’s head into a kitchen cupboard while she was pregnant.

And on the most recent occasion, which was the culmination of 13 months of abuse, he asked her which room she wanted to be beaten in before subjecting her to a vicious and prolonged attack.
