Man Jailed for Brutal Assault Leaving Woman with Life-Threatening Injuries
Emergency Call Reveals Shocking Scene
On Monday 11 January 2021, Adam Fleming made a 999 call reporting an injured woman at his home. But according to a concerned visitor, he seriously downplayed the extent of her injuries.
When paramedics arrived, they found the victim with a severe head wound and heavy bruising to her face. Firefighters had to carefully carry her down the stairs and into the ambulance, rushing her to hospital.
Victim’s Condition So Critical She Was Airlifted
The woman’s injuries were so horrific, she was airlifted to a specialist hospital for urgent treatment. She suffered multiple fractures and a bleed on the brain, and was placed in an induced coma.
Fleming, of Old School Row, denied any involvement, claiming he was in another room and only heard a “thud,” thinking she had a fit. Despite this, police arrested him after questioning.
Fleming Finally Admits to Grievous Bodily Harm
The 27-year-old was charged with grievous bodily harm with intent and pled guilty in September 2021. On Tuesday 7 December 2021, he was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court.
