The accused pleaded guilty to multiple offences, including assault causing bodily harm, choking, and forcible confinement, following a prolonged and violent attack on his intimate partner.
The court considered the severe physical and psychological impact on the victim, the accused's extensive criminal record involving intimate partner violence, and the statutory aggravating factors.
Emphasizing denunciation and deterrence, the court imposed a total sentence of 60 months in custody after accounting for pre-sentence custody credit.
