📝 CASE SUMMARY:
Mitchell Lock, 32, was sentenced at Shrewsbury Crown Court after committing a series of violent crimes against his former partner in early and mid-2023. The attacks included strangulation, attempted arson, and psychological abuse involving restraint and humiliation.
The presiding judge described the June 23 incident as a “sadistic and protracted” attack. Lock tied his victim’s hands, placed a card in her mouth, lit fires in the bedroom, and choked her, all while keeping her restrained.
Despite a defense request for a suspended sentence, the court imposed an immediate custodial term due to the severity and cruelty of the offenses.
