Man admits carrying out double assault whilst daughter slept

A Ramsey man will be sentenced in the New Year after bursting into his ex-girlfriend's flat and attacking her and her partner.

29-year-old Shaun David Bignell, of Armadale House, visited the property on North Shore Road just before 4am on November 17th. 

He started fighting with the man - putting his hands around his neck, biting his toe and stamping on his knee. 

Bignell then proceeded to attack the woman by pinning her to the floor and indecently assaulting her by grabbing at her breasts. 

At Douglas Courthouse on Tuesday he pleaded guilty to the charges against him - the court heard his four-year-old daughter was asleep in the flat at the time. 

A social enquiry report has been requested before he's sentenced on January 22nd - there was no application for bail and he was remanded at the Isle of Man Prison.
