A man who headbutted and punched his partner unconscious in a drunken rage has been given a suspended prison sentence.

Daniel Thorpe, 40, of Smallbrook Lane, Leigh, stood before Wigan magistrates to admit causing Amanda Smith actual bodily harm on December 19, 2019. He was given a 26-week prison sentence but it was suspended for two years, the bench saying that there had been a long time since the attack during which there had been no further incidents and the pair had been reconciled. But he must attend a building better relationships programme, complete 100 hours of unpaid work and pay £722 in court costs and a victim services surcharge.
