Man dances outside court after being spared jail for shaving girlfriend's hair in jealous rage

A man danced outside court after he avoided jail for shaving his ex-girlfriend's hair and smashing up her home in a jealous rage.

Owen James Tysoe, 32, lost his temper and screamed 'you're a wh***e, you don't deserve to live' at his partner of three years, after he accused her of cheating on him, a court heard.

The woman woke up at 7am to find Tysoe standing above her and cutting chunks out of her hair with a razor. He then destroyed her bedroom TV before kicking her door off its hinge.

As the rampage continued, he keyed 'I love **’s c**k’ on the bonnet of her car and shouted 'you’re cheating ****s' while terrorising his former partner on January 29.

The court heard that his victim was left with minor injuries after she tried to defend herself when Tysoe was shaving her head.

Appearing at Northampton Crown Court, Tysoe of Mallows Drive, Raunds, Norths, was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two counts of criminal damage.

His barrister Nathalie Carter told the court: "This was very out-of-character. He’s lost his very good job as a result. Because he was incarcerated they couldn’t hold out that long for him."

She said that the incident had caused Tysoe to lose his job as a warehouse manager where he was in charge of over 400 people.

His Honour Judge David Herbert KC said: "You completely lost your temper with her. You caused her relatively minor injuries although they were unpleasant and frightening as far as she’s concerned."

Judge Herbert KC said he was giving Tysoe the chance to 'move on' from the incident and begin a new job. Tysoe danced outside court and posed for pictures after he was handed a 12-month community order.

He was also ordered to complete 30 rehabilitation requirement days and ordered to pay £250 compensation as well as cover court costs.
