A MAN from Barmouth who intentionally strangled and stalked his ex-partner has been jailed.

Dylan Parry Jones, 28, of Crystal House, made threats to “terrorise” her, stood outside her friend’s home, and told him he would kill himself if she did not get back together with him.

He also called her continuously and made threats of violence towards her and her family.

Jones appeared at Caernarfon Crown Court (sitting at Llandudno Magistrates’ Court) for sentencing on Friday, July 26.

He was jailed for a total of 22 months and given a three-year restraining order covering the victim.

Following an incident on March 3, the victim’s friend called police reporting Jones had violently assaulted his ex-partner after he grabbed her by the throat and began kicking her, before damaging her property.

She contacted police herself a couple of weeks later, disclosing abusive, threatening, and intimidating behaviour by Jones.

As she sat with officers to report the offences, Jones repeatedly called the victim, verbally abusing her and telling her he will “terrorise her” following her police involvement.

Days later, the victim made a further report that Jones was standing outside her friend’s home while she was there.

Officers attended and arrested him, but in custody, he deliberately damaged the cell and assaulted three police officers.

Investigating officer PC Stephen Jones, of North Wales Police, said: “Jones’ fixated, aggressive and intimidating behaviour has had a devastating impact on his victim.

“I hope today’s sentencing allows her to move forward, knowing he is no longer a threat to her safety.

“The victim has been incredibly brave by reporting Jones’ behaviour to us and for supporting this investigation under extremely challenging circumstances.

“If you are or have been a victim of stalking or domestic abuse, please report it to us online or by calling 101. Always dial 999 in an emergency.”
