The couple had known each other for 13 years but their relationship broke down in 2009 after Mpala was jailed two years for punching her, slapping her and whipping her with a belt.


But on Sunday, April 20 2014, Gemma arrived at a children's party to find Mpala already there.

He threw a can of beer at her head and a disgusted Gemma left only to find Mpala waiting for her outside her house when she got home from a nightclub.Worried about making a scene, Gemma let him inside and turned him down when he asked to sleep with her.

But she was then was woken by Mpala punching her head.

Prosecutor Richard Davenport told Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court: "He was shouting and screaming.

"He accused her of sleeping with other men and punched her to her head.

"She felt incredible pain. He was so angry she feared for her life.

"He launched himself at her like a wild animal and bit her cheek.
                                                           

"She was crying and begging him to stop. He said he wanted to kill her."

Although a terrified Gemma tried to leave he told her not to so she sat on the bed in an attempt to calm him down.It was then that she felt a horrific pain to her neck and watched Mpala grab her phone and smash it on the floor.

Gemma said: "I thought he was leaving me for dead and that I would never leave that room and it's a miracle that I manage to escape."

She had a bruised and swollen right eye which she could not open, a bruised nose, swollen left cheek, marks and bumps on her head and a sore back.

And she was later found to have three fractures of her vertebrae.

After pleading guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, Mpala was caged for three years.

And Mpala was also made the subject of an indefinite restraining order preventing him having any contact with Gemma.
