Landscape Gardener Jailed for Paralyzing Ex-Partner

Robert Easom, a fifty-seven-year-old landscape gardener, was sentenced to sixteen years in prison for a brutal attack on his ex-partner, Trudi Burgess, leaving her paralyzed. Their seven-year relationship was marked by abuse, with Easom strangling, head-banging, and threatening Trudi. After she announced her departure, he snapped her neck, causing permanent spinal damage. Trudi, a widowed mother of two, spent three months in critical care and now lives in a spinal rehab unit. Easom pleaded guilty to assault and coercive control but was convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent. The judge deemed him a dangerous offender, and he must serve at least two-thirds of his sentence before parole review.
