Man Sentenced for Strangling Ex-Partner | Glasgow News

A 26-year-old man, Patrick Maughin, is set for sentencing after a horrifying attack on his former partner in Govan last July—triggered by learning she was pregnant. During a heated argument, he strangled her while she was on the phone with her mother, who also yelled at her. In self-defense, she hit him with her phone, which only escalated things—he chased her, pushed her down, and began choking her, leaving her with severe injuries. Though the jury didn’t convict him of kicking her, they found him guilty of assault causing serious harm. She’s now recovering from extensive bruising, and Maughin remains on bail as sentencing is delayed until next month to complete background checks. This case could have major legal and societal implications. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
