The Swansea Crown Court heard that the two had been in a brief relationship when an argument escalated. Webber, who has a history of violent offenses, launched a brutal attack after the woman refused to buy him alcohol. Despite apologising initially, he later returned with whisky in hand and drove the situation into a nightmarish encounter by using a knife to inflict fear and pain.

In this traumatic night, the victim was forced to sleep next to Webber as he kept a knife under the pillow, and threatened her life multiple times. The judge described Webber’s actions as “sadistic” and highlighted the significant impact on the victim, who now lives in constant fear.

Webber’s belated apology, citing his troubled past, didn’t prevent his conviction for multiple offenses, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm, strangulation, and making threats with a knife. With his prison sentence, Webber is also subjected to an indefinite restraining order to prevent any contact with the victim.
