Woods knocked his girlfriend to the floor and left her injured in a public park
A man who killed a pensioner with one punch in an 'unprovoked attack' six years ago is back behind bars after battering his pregnant girlfriend and leaving her laying injured in a park.
There, and "without warning", Woods punched her in the face - knocking her to the ground. When she had got back to her feet, the "controlling and manipulative" 22-year-old - of Billinge Crescent - had left and she returned to his sister's address. Woods approached the stranger and asked him for a cigarette before delivering the lethal blow, which instantly knocked him to the floor and caused him to hit his head on the road. Mr Saunders died in hospital nine days after suffering severe head injuries.
"While in custody, he intends to become a better person. He wants to be not just a father who is in his child's life, but a positive role model. The prospect of becoming a father for the first time has forced reflection on him and a willingness to change. He shows some hope."
