Later, one evening in March 2021, O’Dell had come home searching for some drugs. He could not find any and followed his partner into their bedroom where he threw a cannabis grinder at her before spitting in her face ten times and verbally abusing her, telling her he had “revenge” as he blamed her for a prior sentence. Prosecuting, Sarita Basra said the woman had ‘suicidal thoughts’ in the build-up to the latter incident. Ms Basra told the court how O’Dell, who is 29, had attacked his partner twice in August 2019 when he headbutted her twice in a car. Around Christmas 2019, he threw a Christmas tree on the floor and “rugby tackled” her to the ground before pushing her head into a bean bag.
