A 34-YEAR-OLD man who subjected his partner to five years of physical and sexual abuse has received six life sentences at Bolton Crown Court.
Philip Stone, of Forge Street, Higher Ince,was convicted yesterday of two counts of rape, four counts of grievous bodily harm, two counts of actual bodily harm and one offence of false imprisonment.
His 25-year-old girlfriend finally called the police for help in April 2003, after Stone assaulted her for the final time, and left her with injuries that required 10 days of treatment in Wigan Royal Infirmary.
