Oliver Sheaf, a guy who saturated his fiancée with bleach prior to propelling her down a staircase, has received his sentence.
On January 30 of this year, at approximately 9:30 PM, Oliver Sheaf, 20, and the victim engaged in an altercation at the YMCA in Cambridge.
Oliver Sheaf, inebriated, hurled a dustpan and brush at the victim prior to assaulting her with punches and kicks.
He thereafter applied bleach to the victim’s garments and utilised his hand to suppress her cries for assistance.
CCTV footage recorded Oliver Sheaf seizing her by the hair and dragging her to the floor as the assault extended into the stairway.
Despite the victim’s attempts to dislodge him, Oliver Sheaf persisted in striking her multiple times before forcefully propelling her down the steps.
A staff member hurried to the location while the assault persisted, with the victim positioned at the base of the steps.
The victim was left with bruising and cuts to her body, and two lumps on her head.
Hours later, officers found Oliver Sheaf at the city’s train station where he was arrested for the assault and for possessing cannabis.
On Wednesday (4 December 2024), at Peterborough Crown Court, Sheaf, of no fixed abode in the Hertsmere area of Hertfordshire, pleaded guilty to actual bodily harm (ABH) and possessing cannabis.
He was sentenced to one year at a young offenders’ institution.
PC David Tyler, who investigated, said: “Oliver Sheaf showed no remorse while watching the CCTV footage of him attacking the victim.
