A MAN who kicked and stamped on a former girlfriend after she threw a glass in his face has been jailed for three years seven months.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that in the early hours of April 30 Amii Durkin was in Sherlocks bar in Birkenhead town centre as was Simon Gill, who was argumentative as she was with a man.

Gill would not leave her alone and she threw a glass in his direction which apparently cut him on his right cheek and she walked off into Conway Street.

She realised he was following and began to run but he caught up and knocked her to the ground, said Geoffrey Fryar, prosecuting.

He then kicked and stamped on her before walking away. Horrified witnesses rang 999 but meanwhile Gill angrily came back and repeatedly kicked Miss Durkin in the head and face.

Miss Durkin suffered swelling and cuts to her face and a fractured cheekbone and was detained in hospital overnight.

Gill, 33, of Statham Road, Prenton, denied wounding with intent but changed his plea to guilty after the trial began.

town centre at night...its really the new dodge city...if u stampo on someones head you got to be taken out of society. theres always gonna be fights etc especially with excess booze, some people just cant control emselves afterr 15 wkd...???!! but when you deliberately stamp on someone, thats not scrappin etc thats trin to maim anddeform someone. you cantbe around normal decent people if u do that , and to do it to someone you had a relationship with ? incredible, sad and it makes me despair.

I used to go to school with a simon gill, same age too, maybe the same fella.
