Man jailed for assault and strangulation of partner in Wellingborough
Anton Tinsdeall, aged 38, was found guilty at Northampton Crown Court on July 22, 2025, of non-fatal strangulation, causing actual bodily harm and assault on a police officer.
A man who repeatedly assaulted his partner, including strangling her, has been jailed.
Anton Tinsdeall, aged 38, from Wellingborough, was found guilty at Northampton Crown Court on July 22, 2025, of non-fatal strangulation, causing actual bodily harm and assault on a police officer.
A spokesperson for the force said:
"On the evening of January 20, 2025, Northamptonshire Police received a call from a woman stating that her neighbour had come to her door because her partner had assaulted her.
"The subsequent police investigation found that during their mere two-month relationship, Tinsdeall had made the victim’s life unbearable.
"On the evening of the incident, he had strangled her three times. Fearing for her life, the victim ran to her neighbour’s house seeking refuge and contacted the police.
"Earlier in the week, he had also physically assaulted her.
"The victim described ‘love bombing’ traits in the early part of the relationship which escalated to verbal and then physical abuse.
"She became fearful of Tinsdeall, who would take her phone, stop her from leaving the address and seeing her friends."
Last month (August 8) at Northampton Crown Court, Tinsdeall was sentenced to four years in prison, and ordered not to contact his ex-partner either directly or through a third party, not to attend her home and instructed to pay £228 court costs.
