A Bradford man has been described as violent and cruel after he beat his terrified partner with a mop and called her "the devil."
Bradford Crown Court heard how Mohammed Salim punched the woman in the face, put his hands round her throat and called her degrading names.
Salim, 33, who had been held in custody for more than six months, pleaded guilty to controlling and coercive behaviour towards the woman over four weeks.
Prosecutor Abdul Shakoor said Salim was jailed for four months in 2012 for causing his victim actual bodily harm. The relationship ended but the couple began living together again at an address in Bradford.
Mr Shakoor said “Salim beat the woman with a mop during an argument at their home, he punched her in the face & threatened to throw acid in her face if she told the police”
The police were called when the woman's mother saw her covered in injuries and unable to walk.
Salim had nine previous convictions for 13 offences, including causing actual bodily harm, battery, threatening behaviour and criminal damage.
Salims’s barrister, Glenn Parsons, said “it was a dysfunctional relationship that had now ended. There was paranoia, jealously and violence on both sides.”
Judge Jonathan Rose sentenced Salim to 18 months in jail.
