Gareth Challenger, a 33-year-old man, carried out a violent attack on his mother, Carole Challenger, at his residence in Caerphilly on July 2.
Prior to the incident, Gareth had been out shopping with his partner and had consumed excessive amounts of alcohol, necessitating medical attention.
This simple request quickly escalated into a heated argument that turned violent.
However, she overheard Gareth offering to fight the intervening neighbor.
During the sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court, Gareth Challenger pleaded guilty to intentional strangulation.
The victim’s plea for justice and safety resonates as a cautionary call to address the root causes of such behavior and seek rehabilitation to prevent future harm.
