In a shocking incident that unfolded on 8 June 2020, a man identified as Shane Riley, aged 44, subjected his ex-partner to a horrifying assault, leaving her traumatised and injured. The incident took place in Soham, where an argument between Riley and the victim escalated into a violent confrontation after she informed him that their relationship was over.
According to reports, the altercation began in the victim’s home and quickly spilt over into the garden. In a fit of rage, Riley pushed her forcefully, causing her to fall over a chair and sustain an injury to her leg. The following day, tensions continued to escalate as Riley slapped and punched the woman, causing her to collapse onto the floor. Shockingly, he persisted in his assault, ignoring her pleas to stop and callously stating, “I’ve never hit a woman like this before, but now I’m doing it I am actually quite enjoying it.”
