A vicious domestic abuser has been handed a prison sentence after subjecting his partner to a brutal attack that left her with horrific injuries from being beaten and having her face rubbed in broken glass.
The disturbing incident unfolded when 25-year-old Kieran Gallacher launched a violent assault on his girlfriend during a heated argument. Witnesses reported hearing screams from the property as the attack escalated.
Graphic Details of the Assault
During the prolonged assault, Gallacher not only physically beat the victim but took the violence to another level by deliberately rubbing her face in shattered glass from a broken picture frame. The attack left the woman with severe facial injuries that required medical treatment.
"This was a particularly nasty and calculated assault that showed complete disregard for the victim's wellbeing," stated the prosecuting attorney during court proceedings.
Justice Served
Gallacher pleaded guilty to charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and was sentenced at Hull Crown Court. The judge emphasized the severity of the attack in their sentencing remarks, noting the psychological trauma inflicted on the victim alongside her physical injuries.
"Domestic abuse of this nature cannot and will not be tolerated in our society," the judge declared while delivering the prison sentence.
Support for Victims
The case has highlighted the importance of supporting domestic violence victims and encouraging them to come forward. Local support services have reiterated that help is available for anyone experiencing similar situations.
Police have praised the victim's bravery in coming forward and hope the sentencing sends a clear message that domestic violence will be met with serious consequences.
