| Red Rose Database
Chaddesden Domestic Abuser
Jordan Burton, a resident of Bangor Street in Chaddesden, subjected his partner, the mother of his children, to a prolonged and terrifying campaign of physical and psychological abuse spanning over four years. The disturbing details emerged during a court hearing at Derby Crown Court, revealing a pattern of violence and coercion that left his partner living in constant fear.
According to court reports, Burton repeatedly engaged in aggressive acts, including punching, grabbing, and kicking his partner. His rage culminated in a particularly violent incident where he stabbed her in the arm with shards of a broken plate, causing her physical injury. One of the most alarming episodes involved Burton duct-taping knives to his hands and sitting in front of their house door, an act that was intended to intimidate and terrify his partner. This act of intimidation was part of a broader pattern of controlling behavior that persisted over the years.
The situation escalated further when his partner sought help from a friend to facilitate her escape from the abusive environment. In response, Burton violently assaulted her in front of her friend and their children, demonstrating a complete disregard for their safety and well-being. Following his arrest on March 6 of that year, his partner disclosed the full extent of the abuse she had endured, revealing a history of violence that had begun three to four years earlier.
Court proceedings detailed a series of violent incidents, including Burton pushing and attempting to throttle her in front of their eldest child, even grabbing her by the neck to the point of stopping her breathing. He also elbowed her in the face, destroyed their home, and physically restrained her on the sofa while repeatedly punching her. During one particularly severe incident, Burton stabbed her with a ceramic shard, leaving her with a visible scar. The court heard that his violence was not limited to physical assaults but also included emotional coercion and intimidation.
One of the most disturbing episodes involved Burton taking out two knives, taping them to his hands, and sitting in front of their house door, threatening violence while his partner desperately tried to ignore his threats. The final breaking point came when she attempted to leave him and move in with a friend. Burton refused to let her go alone, consumed alcohol, and eventually fell asleep, further demonstrating his controlling and violent tendencies.
In sentencing, Burton was given a prison term of 22 months. Additionally, protective orders were issued to safeguard his partner and their children, preventing any contact until further notice. The judge expressed deep concern over the emotional and physical distress caused to the victims, emphasizing the severity of Burton’s actions and the lasting impact on those involved.
