An Ash woman has revealed how she feared she was going to die after her drunken partner dug his teeth into her cheek during an hour-long ordeal.
6ft 5 Rafal Wylupek had downed a bottle of vodka before waking up his partner as she slept at her home on a farm.
She later told police: “I was woken up abruptly at approximately 3am by him touching me on the arm and shaking me gently.
“I assumed he wanted to have sex as he has done this previously. I was tired and I told him to leave me alone as I wanted to sleep as I was very tired.”
Canterbury Crown Court heard how Wylupek, 37, then began talking in his native Polish about religion.
She recalled: “He was saying that I would go to hell. I didn’t really understand what he was talking about. I know he was drunk because I could hear it in his voice.”
As she pushed him away, Wylupek leaned over and bit his victim’s cheek, prosecutor Don Ramble told the court.
He said the farm worker then grabbed his partner and held her tightly, refusing to let go.
In her police statement, the victim said: “I was struggling to break free and kept asking him to let go of me.
“He then started to attack me. He was punching me in the face and biting both of my cheeks. His hands, I think were open, when he hit me in the face... I do not remember how many times but it was over five or six times. He was hitting me hard and each time they were hurting me. I started to scream and shout for help, so he grabbed my throat and squeezed it hard.”
She revealed she feared Wylupek was going to “strangle me until I died”.
Judge James O’Mahony said photographs of the victim taken after the savage attack showed “horrific” injuries.
The prosecutor added that even when the victim pleaded to go to the toilet, Wylupek stopped her saying she should “go to the toilet on the floor”.
Mr Ramble said the victim eventually fled, dressed in only a nightgown, to her boss’s home for protection.
Wylupek, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm and was jailed for two years and three months.
The judge told him he had used his teeth “as a weapon” and had terrified his former partner and left her frightened to leave her home.
