Man jailed after admitting strangling his ex

A man has been jailed after pleading guilty to strangling his ex-partner.

38-year-old Daniel Rogers, of no fixed abode, initially pleaded not guilty to the offence, but reversed his plea in March.

Rogers has been sentenced to 18 months in prison. He has also been made subject of a restraining order against the victim.

Sergeant Danielle Walters said:

“Daniel Rogers’ victim felt like he was going to kill her as a result of his domestic violence. She had been scared to report what he was doing at first, due to her fear of reprisal from Rogers if she did so.

“Sadly, this is an all-too-common occurrence in cases of domestic violence such as this.

“She has been through a terrible ordeal, and we are pleased that she is finally free of his abuse now that he is going to prison. The victim is receiving all the available support after coming through the ordeal.”
