Philip Mutch, formerly of Shrewsbury but now of Capern Grove, Birmingham, pleaded guilty to five charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and one count of controlling or coercive control behaviour, when he appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court – sitting at Telford Justice Centre.

Jonathan Dickinson, prosecuting, told how 40-year-old Mutch had previously been jailed for similar behaviour to another woman.

The court was read details of a catalogue of incidents where the victim was subjected to extreme violence and degrading acts 

A moving impact statement from the victim was read to the court, describing the harrowing impact of the abuse.
