A Cambridge man was caught threatening to rip his wife’s head off in secret recordings of abuse inflicted on her. Craig Watson, of Coldhams Lane, Cambridge, made his victim’s life a misery for almost a decade by repeatedly beating and verbally abusing her.
The 42-year-old’s campaign of abuse came to light after officers were called to his home following a vicious attack on December 7 last year. After Watson was arrested, the victim told officers he had abused her since 2014.
She handed over a series of audio clips she had gathered as part of an escape plan. These included a recording from that evening’s incident where Watson could be heard threatening to “rip [her] head off”, and her screaming in pain while he beat her.
