A MAN from Gwynedd has been jailed after attacking his ex-partner.

Iwan Lloyd, 25, of Derwen Deg, Ganllwyd, appeared at Caernarfon Crown Court (sitting at Llandudno Magistrates’ Court) today (September 20) after admitting to assaulting his ex-partner.

On July 5, Lloyd had been arguing with his ex-partner when he grabbed her by the throat and repeatedly hit her against the floor.

He threw bottles of beer around the house and smashed them against the walls, damaging items inside the property.

His partner later went to hospital, which revealed a head injury caused by the attack.

Lloyd was jailed for two years, and also received a restraining order protecting the victim, lasting 10 years.

Detective Constable Dominique Swift, of North Wales Police, said: “Violence of any kind will not be tolerated, and we will pursue any reports of domestic abuse.

“My thoughts remain with the victim who bravely came forward following a frightening experience.

“I hope that she is able to move on knowing that he can no longer contact her.”
