A man has been dragged to court after he strangled his girlfriend of six months because she accused him of wetting the bed.
26-year-old Phillip Davies from North Wales, had spent the night with Keelie Challoner,25, when he accidentally soiled the bed.
When Challoner, also from North Wales woke up and discovered what happened, she complained to Davies and told him to throw the wet mattress out of the house.
Embarrassed by her reaction, Davies throttled her and ‘squeezed his hands tightly around her throat’ which made Challoner think she would die.
District Judge Gwyn Jones told Davies, “You took issue with the fact that she understandably did not wish to have a soiled bed in her house.
“You became offensive towards her then violent. She did not know whether she was going to live or die.”
Davies pleaded guilty to assaulting Miss Challoner, while the court heard from his defense that he was at ‘rock bottom’ at the time of the incident, Metro UK reports.
After he was convicted of the crime, Davies was sentenced to six months behind the bars.
