A violent thug who subjected his partner to years of violence has been jailed for two years. Andrew Lee, 50, slapped, head-butted and kicked Maureen Muir who told of a life of "hell" with her then-partner. Lee denied the charges but was convicted at Glasgow Sheriff Court of assaulting Miss Muir between January 2002 and December 2009 at a number of houses in Glasgow, Airdrie and Johnstone. He was also convicted of assaulting Miss Murray in February 2005 at a house in Pollok, while she was pregnant although it was accepted that Lee didn't know that at the time. Lee - who is serving five years for charges of assault and lewd and libidinous practices imposed in 2013 - was jailed by sheriff Daniel Scullion for two years, to serve consecutively.
