🚨 **Shocking Assault in Neath: Ex-Girlfriend Brutally Attacked by Vincent Carroll** 🚔
Vincent Carroll, 47, subjected his former partner to a horrifying attack, leaving her with severe injuries including a broken nose and chipped tooth. Swansea Crown Court heard how this “prolonged and persistent” assault unfolded after Carroll forced his way into his ex’s home while intoxicated. His actions were so vicious that pleas for mercy made him even angrier.
The violence began with Carroll verbally abusing her before landing repeated blows to her head and face. Despite her desperate attempts to escape, he pursued and continued his attack, even using a broom to inflict more harm. A worker nearby witnessed the brutal aftermath and called for emergency services.
Police quickly apprehended Carroll, who audaciously claimed he was the victim, despite having possession of the woman’s bank card. Carroll’s extensive criminal history, compounded by addiction issues, led to a sentence of 38 months behind bars. He will serve part of his time in custody before transitioning to licence release.
The victim, now dealing with anxiety and flashbacks, has shown immense courage by speaking up. This case underscores the harsh realities many face with domestic abuse.
