A Jekyll and Hyde drunk who strangled his girlfriend, threw her Christmas tree over and ordered her to open her presents has narrowly avoided jail. Wine and whiskey fuelled Jared Dolby, 31, subjected his partner to a terrifying attack three days before Christmas last year.
The woman said she feared for her life. "I honestly believed he was going to kill me, and I would be another girl on the news killed by her boyfriend," she said.
Dolby's lawyer said he is 'kind' and 'hard working' when sober, but when drunk can display 'thinking deficits' and is capable of acting in an 'utterly unacceptable manner'. A judge said he was 'just' persuaded to avoid sending Dolby to prison.

Manchester Crown Court heard that the couple had been eating a meal on December 22. Dolby drank wine with their food, and later moved on to whiskey.
An argument broke out in which Dolby called the woman a 'liar', a 'sla*' and a 'horrible c***'. He threw her Christmas tree to the floor before storming off into the kitchen.
His girlfriend thought Dolby might be going to get a knife. She hid in the bathroom and sat against the door, to try and lock him out while calling 999.
But Dolby forced open the door with such force that she was flung across the room, prosecutor Mark Pritchard said. Dolby demanded to know who she'd called, before his attack continued.
He dragged her into the kitchen and threw her to the floor, before strangling her 'so hard' that she couldn't breathe for two or three seconds. Dolby stamped on her hand, and pinned her head to the floor using his foot as his verbal tirade
