A DOMESTIC abuser climbed on his partner and bit her during a struggle in front of her young son.

Jonathan Inch was angry about not being able to see his own child in Eastbourne when the abuse started.

He carved the word c*** into his ex-partner Angela Watkin’s car during the row.

When she was due to attend an inquest of a friend Inch texted her: “I hope you had a really s*** day, I hope it’s been painful and sticks with you for a long time.”

The 40-year-old thug also took out his anger on new partner Kayleigh Coleiro.

He called her a “scummy little c***” in front of her son after downing two cans of Captain Morgan rum.

Inch tried to grab Ms Coleiro’s phone, repeatedly kicked her, climbed on top of her, and bit her.

At Lewes Crown Court, Judge Mark Van Der Zwart told him Ms Coleiro’s six-year-old son was “more of a man” than he was for trying to protect her.

Bricklayer Inch was given a ten-month suspended sentence, and was ordered to complete 200 hours of community service.

Charlotte Morrish, prosecuting, said the incidents started with his offensive Whatsapp message to Ms Watkins on June 13 about the inquest hearing.

Then on Sunday, June 16, he called her a “pig b****” when she was out with her father. Inch scrawled the word c*** onto every panel of her car.

Back at his home, he slapped Kayleigh Coleiro with both hands to her face, and threw a slipper at her, causing her to fall down the stairs.

The next day, he sent an abusive message to Ms Watkins’ father David. Then when Ms Coleiro returned home he attacked her again and accused her of “drinking and taking cocaine with her skank friends”.

He bit her and kicked her and tried to grab her phone, causing her actual bodily harm.

Inch, formerly of Mill Green, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, admitted two assaults, criminal damage, and sending two malicious communications.

Natasha Dardashti, defending, said Inch had a “breakdown” and was “desperate” to see his son, claiming Ms Watkins restricted access.

He was taking a cocktail of drugs including Valium and Xanax, but has since turned his life around.

Judge Van Der Zwart heard that Inch is a “medium risk of harm to women” who he is in relationships with.

He said: “You ought to be thoroughly ashamed. You were bullying, violent and frightening in the presence of a little boy. You are 40, he is six, but he is more of a man than you are.”

Inch must also complete 20 rehabilitation days, with £525 compensation and £425 costs.
