A THUG who scarred his lover for life in a row over a messy house has been jailed for 20 months.

Michael Stewart turned on the woman at her home in Easterhouse on Valentine's Day 2020.

The 28-year-old courier grabbed the woman's head and wounded her by striking her against it.

He pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the assault to Miss Nolan's injury. The pair were together for five years prior to the incident. Two youngsters were eating breakfast in the living room.

Prosecutor Graham Macdonald said: "The woman shouted at the children for causing mess when eating.

"Stewart then grabbed the rear of her head and forced her into the kitchen sink which caused her to hit her head on the sink."

The victim fled to a neighbour's house and a 999 call was made before Stewart was arrested.

He later said: "Aye, I did hit her, I hit her head off the sink."

The woman was taken to hospital meantime for treatment to the head wound which required glue and four stiches to close. The injury has left her permanently scarred.

Jack Brown, defending, told the court there had been an argument about the way the woman spoke to the children amid claims she lashed out.

Sheriff Paul Crozier said: "As has been conceded, custody is necessary and the only appropriate sentence.

"This was horrible what you inflicted on your partner and she will be permanently scarred for her life."

A two-year non-harassment order restricting Stewart's contact with the woman was also put in place.
