I would like to express my thanks to all those involved in the investigation, especially the officer in the case, Detective Constable Samantha James.
“Ainsley Greer carried out a sustained violent attack upon the victim that inflicted some serious injuries. The assaults were unprovoked and could have quite easily led to fatal consequences. As a result of his senseless actions, he has quite rightly received a lengthy custodial sentence.”
