A man who regularly beat his wife, sexually abused her and cut her with a knife when she was heavily pregnant has been jailed for 12 years.
The 46-year-old man, who can't be named to protect the identity of his victim, was found guilty by a jury of one count of rape, three counts of aggravated sexual assault, three counts of assault causing harm and one count of coercive control following a two week Central Criminal Court trial last November.
