East Kilbride: A man named Craig Doak has been sentenced to 21 months in jail. He choked his partner and assaulted her multiple times.
This happened at a house on Carnoustie Crescent between November 1 and 30, 2023. Doak, 51, admitted to the assault in Hamilton Sheriff Court.
During the attack, he restricted her breathing by choking her against a wall. He also pulled her hair, spat in her face, and threw her against the wall.
Sadly, the woman has since passed away, but there’s no link to Doak’s violence. Doak has a long criminal history, including a previous jail sentence for slashing a man.
His latest sentence was backdated to April 23 last year, considering the time he spent in custody before the trial.
