Peterborough man who strangled woman jailed for 18 months
A man from Peterborough has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for strangling a woman following a domestic dispute. The incident took place last month, when the man, whose identity has not been disclosed, got into an argument with the woman at their home.
According to witnesses, the situation quickly escalated and the man began to physically assault the woman, eventually strangling her until she lost consciousness. Police were called to the scene and the man was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily harm.
During his trial, the man pleaded guilty to the charges and expressed remorse for his actions. However, the judge determined that his behavior was unacceptable and handed down a sentence of 18 months in prison. The man will also be required to attend anger management classes and complete community service upon his release.
