LIAM Nicholl has been jailed after strangling a woman and subjecting her to sustained physical and psychological abuse.

The 25-year-old, of Winscombe Road, Weston-super-Mare, was sentenced to 20 months in prison during a sentencing hearing at Bristol Crown Court on September 2.

Nicholl pleaded guilty to intentional strangulation and three other offences – of criminal damage to police property, assault by beating and causing harassment with fear of violence – with his sentence to be served concurrently.

PC Ben Weston, of Avon & Somerset Police, said: “I would like to commend the victim’s courage during the course of this investigation. This was a truly traumatising incident for the victim whereby physical and psychological abuse was sustained.

“This conviction reflects the seriousness of the offences. Acts of violence against women and girls will be dealt with expeditiously and robustly by Avon and somerset police and offenders will be brought to justice.”
