Thug who punched his pregnant girlfriend after being freed for battering a pensioner to death tells a court: 'I want to be a positive role model'
A violent thug who served time for battering a pensioner to death for a cigarette is back behind bars for punching his pregnant girlfriend.
The victim, who was 30 weeks pregnant, argued with him over the phone and refused to see him. But Jonathan Rogers, prosecuting, described how Ms Jackson 'eventually relented' and met with her boyfriend near to Fosters Park in St Helens, the Liverpool Echo reports. Woods was previously convicted of manslaughter in 2017 after the drunken teenager 'snuffed out' the life of community hero Len Saunders with a single punch. Then aged 17, he was sent to a young offenders’ institute for four years and four months after pleading guilty to the killing of the much loved 65-year-old charity volunteer in an unprovoked attack.
"He has concerning antecedents in his history and comes before the court in a case in which a single blow caused serious injury to someone he has been in a relationship with. He is doing what he can to recognise the problems he has and trying to address them.
