A horrific case of domestic violence has shaken our community. Adam Wiggins, a military veteran, brutally assaulted his former partner, leaving her with severe injuries and lasting trauma. The court heard that their relationship quickly turned toxic, culminating in a violent outburst on August 16, 2025, when Wiggins attacked her in a fit of rage. He left his victim with multiple wounds, including serious injuries to her head, face, and body, requiring urgent medical attention.
Wiggins, 35, contacted the police himself but refused to reveal the identity of his victim, claiming self-defence. Despite being on bail with strict conditions not to contact the victim, he showed a blatant disregard for the law. When arrested, he admitted to the attack and breaching his bail conditions, something he had done before with previous partners.
The victim bravely shared her ordeal, describing how the incident has left a profound emotional scar. Her beloved dog and family have also been affected by the trauma, showing just how deep the ramifications of such violence can run.
Wiggins pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm without intent. Despite a history of domestic abuse, he received a 24-month suspended sentence, with conditions to undergo rehabilitation and mental health treatment.
