Cardiff man jailed for domestic violence

Luke Wall from Rumney, Cardiff, has been jailed for domestic violence and made subject of a five-year restraining order.

Wall, 32, pleaded guilty to two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

He assaulted a former partner on two occasions while she was pregnant in October 2023.

On the first occasion he slapped her twice causing her to hit her head against the headboard of a bed.

On the second occasion, he tried to drag her out of a car by her hair, then hit her and bit her leg causing a scar.

Officer in the case, Detective Constable Molly Thomas from South Wales Police, said:

“Wall is a dangerous and violent individual.
“I would like to highlight the bravery of the victim who was pregnant throughout the whole process. I hope that she can now live a peaceful life with her young child.”

Wall was sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday, July 5, to 21 months in prison.

Domestic abuse can affect anyone regardless of ethnicity, age, gender, sexuality, or social background.

Women and girls are disproportionately the victims of violence and abuse, and suffer more at the hands of a partner, former partner, or family member and sometimes a stranger.
