A Diet & SDL

[slade]

A THUG who kicked his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach after returning home from a far-right Scottish Defence League march has been jailed for more than four years.

James Mullen squeezed Christine McLeoda??s throat with his bare hands during the attack and at one stage she curled up trying to protect her stomach as he repeatedly kicked her.

Mullen, then 19, also injured a ten-year-old girl during his violent outburst and threatened to stab a neighbour who tried to stop the assault.

When police officers arrived, Mullen told them: a??I went too far, I only wanted to propose to her.a??

Now 20, Mullen was sentenced to four years and four months in prison at the High Court in Aberdeen yesterday.

Speaking after the court case, Detective Inspector Morag Bruce, from Police Scotland, said: a??Mullen launched a sustained and violent assault on his partner, who was pregnant at the time.

a??We welcome this sentence as it sends out a clear message that domestic violence will not be tolerate

Sadly domestic abuse is wide spread
