'Pack it f*****g neater': Vile bodybuilder strangled terrified partner then berated her as she packed his case

A woman thought her 'little girl was going to wake up without a mum’ after her boyfriend strangled her until she couldn’t breathe.

Michael Huyton, 35, had been drinking with his victim throughout the afternoon and evening of January 22, Bolton Crown Court heard.

After going back to her home in Atherton, where he was also staying, Huyton became ‘irritated’ by her playing loud music. Prosecution barrister James Preece told the court that the woman then went to bed and Huyton shouted that she’d ‘let him down’ and ‘ruined the night’.

The victim tried to get her work phone from the drawer but Huyton snatched it from her and threw it at a wall, damaging the plasterboard in the process. She started to cry on the bed and Huyton called her ‘pathetic’.

Huyton then shouted: ““Pack me my stuff, I’m f*****g off. I’ve had enough of this s***.”

After starting to pack it, Huyton then picked the case up and
