These are some of the men which women in Manchester should know about. Whether they were driven by anger, jealousy or a desire for control, they were hauled before the courts for crimes committed against women.
Many of their victims have been left with long lasting scars, both physical and mental. And while a couple of these offenders targeted complete strangers, most offended against women they were in relationships with.
Here are some of the most shocking cases to come before the courts in recent months. Fidal Robinson left his former girlfriend too terrified to report his crimes to the police.
But she was later hospitalised for about a month after Robinson brutally attacked her, stabbing her with scissors and using them to cut her hair.
