We have charged a 41-year-old Wirral man with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and intentional strangulation.

Bryan Watson of Vittoria Close, Birkenhead, was remanded into custody to appear at Merseyside Domestic Violence Remand Court today, Monday 15 July.
Detective Inspector Peter Rexwinkel said: “There is help available to anyone who may be suffering domestic abuse of any kind and together with partner agencies, we will do all that we can to support you.
“Domestic abuse can happen to anyone and we have specially trained officers who will listen to you and support you with sensitivity and compassion.
“I would ask everyone to look out for family members, friends or neighbours that may be suffering. By contacting us, you could be helping someone who is too afraid to help themselves. Everything you tell us is taken extremely seriously and will be investigated thoroughly.
“If you want to report domestic abuse, contact Merseyside Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or seek specialist support call the confidential 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247. This helpline is free and run in partnership by Refuge and Women's Aid.”
