A husband has admitted assaulting the mother of his children.

Appearing before Oxford Crown Court on Thursday morning, Afzaal Satti, 40, of Blenheim Road, Gloucester, pleaded guilty to a single count of causing his partner actual bodily harm.

Bailing him to return to court for sentence on February 17, Judge Maria Lamb ordered a pre-sentence report.

“I don’t want you to go away thinking this will be anything other than immediate custody but it is helpful for the court to know all that there is to know about you,” she said.

Satti’s bail conditions prevent him from contacting his victim or going to Bassett Road, Barton.
