Man mercilessly beats his girlfriend because “she under-cooked his chicken Kiev”

Scott Howell, 32, strike his girlfriend so badly that she needed hospital treatment, and the reason he gave is that she had under-cooked his chicken Kiev.

The ex-Army reserve soldier, attacked Michelle Mundt, also 32, in anger over his dinner at their home. Michell was left with horrendous facial injuries and had to be taken to hospital after the violent assault, a family friend said.

Another close source revealed that, Michelle had been the victim of abuse for a year before Howell was finally arrested and he was only caught out because Michelle was taken to the hospital.

“If it wasn’t for Michelle’s dad and step mum turning up that day, she may not have left the house alive,” they told the Daily Record. “The fact they saw her in this state was her only escape. His next girlfriend may not be so lucky.”

Howell was arrested by the police after the attacked. He admitted carrying out the attack on the day he was set to face trial at Glasgow Crown Court. He also pleaded guilty to charges of spitting on a female police officer who turned up to their house in the aftermath of the attack, and of being in possession of a knuckle duster.
