Thug threatened to slit his girlfriend’s throat after row
A “callous and heartless” brute who ransacked his girlfriend’s home and poured a concoction of mint sauce and ice cream over her torn-up clothes has been jailed.
Enraged George Farrell trashed his partner’s Sunderland home by cutting up her clothes and smashing up her kitchen appliances following an argument on October 8.
The 25-year-old victim entered into a relationship with the defendant earlier in the year, but it broke down after he assaulted her, and a restraining order was put in place on September 1 at Sunderland Magistrates’ Court.
Prosecutor Mark Giuliani told Newcastle Crown Court how the woman wished to resume her relationship with Farrell, and he frequently visited her Sunderland home.
On the day of the offence, the couple argued and the woman left Farrell alone in the house. When she returned, she found that the house had been ransacked.
Mr Giuliani said: “He filled her game console with shower gel. He cut up all of her clothes and covered them in mint sauce and ice cream.
“He said he was going to wait for her outside and slit her throat. He also made threats to kill her grandfather.”
Farrell, of Lanton Street, Sunderland, has 10 previous convictions for 14 offences including harassment, arson, common assault and battery.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary with intent to cause damage, assaulting a police officer and breaching a restraining order.
Recorder Anthony Kelbrick jailed him for four years, with an extended licence period of two years,
