A jealous man repeatedly beat up his partner three times in a week and then claimed he was acting in self-defence, a court heard. Mansur Ahmed left the woman with bruises and bite marks on her face and body. The Swansea Crown Court judge told Ahmed that attacking a woman demeans her and the attacker as a human being. The court was told that Ahmed and his partner’s relationship turned violent within a few months of starting. Over eight days in June, Ahmed assaulted his partner three times, leading to physical and verbal abuse.
After the third assault, the woman sought medical help, revealing bruises and bite marks. Despite his guilty pleas for three counts of assault causing bodily harm, Ahmed denied the assaults, saying they were in self-defence. The court highlighted the impact on the victim’s mental health, worsening anxiety and depression. Ahmed received a 20-month prison sentence with a restraining order.
Support resources for victims of abuse were provided. The article also shared information on organisations offering assistance to those affected by abuse. Mansur Ahmed, with previous convictions, aimed to improve himself during his time in custody. The court recognized his guilty plea as a mitigating factor. Ahmed was sentenced to prison with a restraining order against contacting his ex-partner. Domestic abuse awareness and support services were emphasized for those in need.
