Peterborough abuser who hurled six-inch knife into partner's back is jailed for three years
Isaiah Khan, 27, of Stanground, Peterborough, hurled the six-inch blade during an argument at their then-home in Peterborough in January 2018.
At the time the victim, who needed stitches in hospital, told medics she had slipped.
The couple split in 2019 but two years later, prompted by concerns for the safety of Khan's new partner, she reported the abuse she had suffered to the police.
She revealed Khan had physically abused her throughout their relationship, including while she was pregnant.
He controlled her finances – she paid for everything and had to transfer money to him when she got paid.
Following a trial in February, Khan was found guilty of grievous bodily harm without intent and two counts of engaging in controlling/coercive behaviour.
At Cambridge Crown Court, Khan was sentenced to three years in prison and handed a 10-year restraining order.
Det Con Martina Radomska said: 'The violent behaviour towards the victim was inexcusable.
"Khan not only caused the physical scars on the victim from his despicable violence, but also the mental scars from the years of control. I commend the bravery of the victim in coming forward.
'If anyone is concerned their partner has an abusive past, I would urge them to use the Clare's Law scheme.
"Tackling domestic abuse is a priority area for the force, and we will do all we can to bring offenders before the courts.'

Pakistan jails opposition leader and other senior figures from Imran Khan's party on ‘terrorism' charges
A Pakistani court has sentenced some of the most senior figures from Imran Khan 's opposition party to 10 years in prison for their involvement in anti-government protests in 2023. Those sentenced on Thursday – and therefore immediately disqualified from serving in parliament – include the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub Khan. A total of 108 officials from Mr Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party were jailed by an anti- terrorism court in Pakistan 's Faisalabad city. Other prominent figures who were sentenced include Shibli Faraz, Hamid Raza and Zartaj Gul according to Pakistan 's leading daily newspaper Dawn. The case relates to the unrest that gripped Pakistan on 9 May 2023 when supporters and workers from PTI staged major protests over Mr Khan's arrest on corruption charges. The demonstrations ultimately descended into violent riots where military infrastructure and other state-owned buildings were vandalised. At least 10 people died in the capital Islamabad and in the aftermath around 4,000 people were arrested. Mr Khan's supporters, who accused the country's powerful military of orchestrating his 2022 ousting as prime minister through a no confidence vote, targeted an airbase, multiple cantonments, the residence of a senior general, and the army headquarters. Thursday's verdict by the anti-terrorism court is the latest in a wave of prosecutions targeting PTI members and the party's most senior leadership. Mr Khan himself has remained in jail for almost two years. Thursday's verdict came a week after the same court convicted and sentenced eight PTI members, including officials from the party's previous provincial government in Punjab such as Yasmin Rashid, Ejaz Chaudhry, Mehmoodur Rashid and Umar Sarfraz Cheema, to 10 years in jail. Mr Khan faces a separate trial on similar charges, with prosecutors accusing him and fellow PTI party leaders of instigating the unrest that saw protesters attack government and military sites. In a statement on the latest convictions, PTI said that it was a 'sad day for democracy', stating that the party's leaders have been 'unjustly targeted in the false flag operation of 9 May'. As a result, PTI said, the sentenced opposition leaders in both houses of the National Assembly stood disqualified, 'paving way for more members in both houses using precipitous measures to have members elected, from the government side'. 'All this in the name of 9 May incident, based on testimony from the police officers who had supposedly hid under the table, with a disguise, heard the former prime minister Imran Khan, plotting a scheme to incite violence once he's arrested,' the statement read. Mr Khan, 72, was bailed later in 2023 but then rearrested on 5 August that year. He faces around 150 charges, ranging from corruption to terrorism, some of the most serious of which have already been thrown out by the courts. His party claims all the cases filed against him are politically motivated.
