A thug who attacked a woman has become one of the first in the country to be jailed for the offence of non-fatal strangulation.
Michael Strange, 33, of Nortonwood Lane, Windmill Hill, Runcorn, was sent down at North Cheshire Magistrates’ Court in Warrington last Monday. He pleaded guilty on the day to intentional strangulation, criminal damage, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH).
All three charges were committed against the same woman the day before the hearing, on Sunday, July 17. Strange was sentenced to 52 weeks in prison, and banned from contacting or approaching his victim or entering a named street.
