A vile and obsessive bully kicked his girlfriend's dog to death after he angrily accused her of putting her pet first.
Aidan Swift, 42, became "livid" and "irate" before kicking the two-year-old dog, called Kiki, so viciously that she "died on the spot", Hull Crown Court heard.
Hull Live reports that Swift hit he threatened to kill her during a frightening long-running campaign of controlling behaviour.
Swift, of Holmpton Road, Hollym, Holderness, but recently in custody on remand, admitted using controlling and coercive behaviour between January 2020 and September last year, assaulting the woman, causing actual bodily harm, and making threats to kill her on May 13 last year. He also admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a dog on April 7 last year.
Matthew Moore-Taylor, prosecuting, said that the woman had been in a relationship with Swift and they moved in together in a village in Holderness. She began to notice that Swift would become angry very easily and he often punched and slammed doors and kicked items of clutter out of the way. "He was also belligerent, adopting an aggressive tone with her and invading her personal space during arguments," said Mr Moore-Taylor.
After lockdown, Swift began to work away from home and he would return at the weekend. He would spend most of his time out drinking with friends. "When he returned home, he would frequently behave aggressively and try to instigate an argument with her before apologising the next day," said Mr Moore-Taylor.
Swift's behaviour deteriorated. "He would often confiscate her phone to prevent her from contacting the police," said Mr Moore-Taylor. She tried to break up with him, but he would send messages to her constantly until she took him back.
