An abusive thug warned his pregnant ex-girlfriend: "I will kill you before I go back to prison." Bradley Norton, 30, then launched a violent attack on the woman.
He previously hit his former partner in the back of the head as she ran away during a row. She fell down the stairs and hit her head.
Months later, after moving in together and the woman falling pregnant, Norton, from Salford, was drinking and taking drugs when he attacked her again.
