  1. This news content, the man charged with her murder has same age, area, name as this prior domestic assault : 'Vodka 'mad' Worcester dad punched woman holding children' 21st August 2020 A 'FANTASTIC dad' who went 'mad' on vodka punched his partner in the face during a bloody attack while she was holding two children. Damian Homer was told he would have gone to jail if not for ** , the partner who defended him after he punched her in the face, knocking her and two children to the floor and showering them in blood. The 46-year-old defendant of **, Worcester, had already admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm when he appeared at Worcester Crown Court on Wednesday. The assault happened on June 29 this year at the couple's Worcester home after the defendant had drunk 'a litre and a half of vodka' before asking his partner if he could have some of her Prosecco. Miss * replied 'I don't think you need any more' and an argument erupted between the two before she went upstairs to get away from him. Ben Close, prosecuting, said Homer told her he was breaking up with her, threatened to throw her out of the window and shouted: "I really want to punch you!" Homer, described as a 'well built man' by the judge, also barged into her, knocking her to the floor so that she suffered an injury (minor bruising) to her elbow. She rang her mother, asking for help. "He started to pretend he was being attacked for the benefit of her mother on the other end of the call" said Mr Close. The prosecutor also said Homer gave Miss * the impression he would attack her mother if she came to the house. "As she was walking downstairs the defendant said 'I'm going to get a knife and stab you in the eye'," said Mr Close. Homer punched her once to the face while she was carrying two children. The blow caused a chipped front tooth and she said she could feel 'blood dripping down her face' from a cut above her eye. She ran out of the house, shouting for help. Her mother was said to have heard her shouting 'help!' and 'he's going mad!' over the phone. Police attended at around 12.20am, finding Miss * at a neighbour's address with a swollen face and a cut, estimated to be around 1.5cm in length, above her eye and a chipped tooth. She spent five hours at Worcestershire Royal Hospital in Worcester, receiving three stitches to her eye. She received no fractures but Mr Close said she suffered 'flashbacks of the defendant coming towards her'. When the victim's mother arrived at the house she described Homer as 'having a bright red face, gritting his teeth and having clenched fists'. Homer told her that her daughter had 'gone for a walk' and was 'just being dramatic'. She could see blood around the property and on the defendant's clothes. Homer told her: "You don't know what I have to put up with." At one stage he began to cry and said: "I've lost her." Homer was also said to have threatened the woman's husband, saying 'Come on, I will kill you!' Mark Sheward, defending, said his client was now seeing a psychotherapist and had not drunk since the attack. He said: "It's fair to say that you won't see a defendant before you who is more ashamed than this gentleman is. "He's devastated by the way he behaved on that particular day. He accepts his drinking had become out of control." Mr Sheward also said the complainant, a paramedic at Eastwood Park prison, took the view that his behaviour had been 'out of character'. The solicitor said she 'may well give him a chance' provided he does not drink. He said his client's recollection of the incident was different but that he did not dispute his partner's account. "She doesn't tell lies - that was his comment to me" said Mr Sheward. Judge James Burbidge QC said the threat to stab his partner in the eye had been 'outrageous'. He said of the punch: "The really aggravating feature is that she was holding two children at the time who fell to the floor with her. The blood coursed from the injury to her eye and dripped onto the children." The judge sentenced him to six months in prison suspended for two years and also made a community order to include 60 rehabilitation activity requirement days and 80 hours of unpaid work. As Homer was leaving court the judge said: "When you lose your temper you should think about what spared you from prison - it was ** (*His partner **)." WORCESTER
