Mrs Bell didn't fully co-operate with the police investigation but did tell that she had been attacked and suffered injuries.
Miss Atkinson said: "She confirmed that he threatened her with an axe and said he was going to hit her with it. She said that he had never shown this level of aggression before but she was scared about how it was going to end."
It's only going to end one way, isn't it?
Bell, of Rivington Park, Appleby, Cumbria, pleaded guilt to grievous bodily harm following the incident in November last year.

The court heard how Mrs Bell wants to rekindle their relationship.
*blinks*
Judge Timothy Stead (Ed: *deep sigh*) sentenced Bell to a two-year community order where he will perform 15 rehabilitation activity days and take part in an alcohol monitoring programme.
He said: "It is a great disappointment to see you hear (sic) at this age, it is the only time you have done anything wrong."

"It is a significant wrong – I don't want to be heard saying that domestic violence is in anyway a lesser form of violence than that which could be regarded as general violence against other people, it is the reverse, it is more serious."

I've said it before and I've said it again, if they refuse to leave abusive partners, they should lose all access to the police and courts
ReplyDeleteCoppers ore not relationship police who should be expected to turn up on a whim, whenever some stupid cow who refuses to leave her partner, needs protection
Trouble is, there's a lot of cops now who do indeed see that as their job. Less of them might help!
