Corby man who stamped on partner sentenced to unpaid work

A Corby dad who violently assaulted his former partner in front of her children has been sentenced at Northampton Magistrates' Court.

Stuart McCreadie, 41, was last month convicted of the sickening assault that took place in August.

A court heard how he came home from the pub and, after he was asked to keep the noise down, began kicking his wife while she was on the floor before stamping on her and hitting her with a chair.

When his adult daughters came to the door, he pushed one of them over and she hit her head on the concrete.

The court was also told that while on police bail for the two assaults, McCreadie, of Snatchill Close, had been found in possession of a hammer in a public place and had sent an malicious text message to one of the victims. He had been remanded in custody following those two incidents in September.

The court ordered a pre-sentence report and McCreadie has now been handed a 12-month community order which includes the compulsion to complete 180 hours of unpaid work, 15 days of a rehabilitation course, and a 30-day programme. He was ordered to pay £300 costs and a £95 victim surcharge. There was also a one-year restraining order put in place and a hammer he had used in the second incident was ordered to be destroyed.
