A mother-of-two has shared shocking images of the injuries she suffered when her partner bit her nose and face before holding his hand over her mouth until she could not breath during an unprovoked attack.
Rebecca Mavin, 27, took to Facebook to post distressing pictures of bruises to her face, a swollen lip and cuts to her throat following the incident outside her front door in Colwyn Bay, north Wales, on June 10.
Ex-partner Craig Pilkington, 34, will not serve any prison time for the attack after being handed a 20-week suspended jail sentence when he pleaded guilty to a single count of assault by beating at Llandudno Magistrates' Court on October 22.
Pilkington, of Ffordd Y Mynach, was also ordered to pay fines totalling £920 and was made subject of a restraining order.
However, Ms Mavin has said the sentence is a 'failure of the system' and too lenient for the man who pinned her to the floor and bit her nose.
