The "worst domestic abuser" a judge had ever seen has been recalled to prison just six months after his release.
Craig Thomas, 38, was jailed in 2013 for a relentless campaign of abuse he committed against his then partner Charlotte Rooks while keeping her prisoner in his Cardiff flat.
He was given a 10 year prison sentence for beating her with hammers, making her sleep naked standing up and forcing her to eat pictures of deceased loved ones by her partner.
He was released last summer after serving five years of his sentence. The Ministry of Justice have now confirmed that Thomas was recalled to prison in January for breaching his liscense.
A prison service spokesman said: “Craig Thomas was recalled to prison on 26 January 2019 for breach of his licence conditions.”
It is has not been confirmed what Thomas did to merit being locked up again.
Speaking to WalesOnline Charlotte, who still suffers from a string of health problems and PTSD following Thomas' abuse, called for the reasons behind his recall to be made public.
She said: "I have been aware since January this year that Craig Thomas had been recalled to Prison. Knowing his prolific history of violent offending I am not surprised that this has happened, only that it has taken this long for him to be caught.
"The law dictates that I am not allowed to know what Thomas has or has not done which, has resulted in his recall.
"I believe it is in the public interest that myself, other victims, potential victims and the general public are kept fully informed of the whereabouts of such a dangerous and remorseless criminal."
A spokeswoman for the Parole Board has said they are reviewing Thomas' case.
She said: "We can confirm the parole review of Craig Thomas has been referred to the Parole Board and is following standard processes.
"The job of the Parole Board is to determine if someone would represent a significant risk to the public after release.
"The panel will carefully look at a whole range of evidence, including details of the original evidence and any evidence of behaviour change. We do that with great care and public safety is our number one priority."
These are some of the picture of Charlotte after she managed to escape he confinement:
