BRENT MAN JAILED FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND STRANGULATION

Kylle Godfrey, a 30-year-old man from North Circular Road in Neasden, was involved in a brutal assault on his partner, where he strangled her, slammed her head on the floor, and caused head trauma injuries.

He received a sentence of three years in prison and was subjected to a Criminal Behaviour Order on Monday, March 27.

This order mandates that Godfrey must inform the police if he is in a relationship for more than 14 days.

After his arrest, Godfrey continued to threaten his victim and, while on bail, assaulted another woman he was involved with before his court appearance.

Detective Inspector Jane Topping from the Hackney Community Safety Unit emphasized the importance of the order, stating, 'This order gives us a new way of protecting victims of domestic abuse and prevent other women from suffering at the hands of people like Godfrey, and help our efforts to tackle domestic violence.' She further praised the victim for her bravery and expressed hope that she now feels safer with Godfrey behind bars, where he is under closer scrutiny.

Godfrey was sentenced to three years in prison in February after admitting to multiple charges, including two counts of actual bodily harm, perverting the course of justice, and witness intimidation.

The Criminal Behaviour Order, which is notable for its uniqueness, lasts for seven years and was made under the Anti-social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014.

It includes provisions for police to inform new partners about his previous violent conduct towards women under the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme.
