Summary

“The prosecution say this was a persistent, very determined, very prolonged attack by the defendant. The prosecution say, quite simply, the defendant was a man who knew at all times what he was doing. His actions were clear and had one aim - prevent at all costs his wife leaving the house and seeking help” — Prosecutor Matthew Roberts, Swansea Crown Court, February 2021
