Christopher Kirby A THUG attacked his partner and completely wrecked her flat after she gave him a place to stay on release from prison. Christopher Kirby, who has an extensive record of violence against women, including his own mother, is back behind bars after a judge described his behaviour as "brutish". Bolton Crown Court heard how 30-year-old Kirby and his partner had been in an on/off relationship for two and a half years and, in October 2020, he moved into her flat in Bolton on release from prison after serving a sentence for offences including attacking her. Simon Barrett, prosecuting, told how, on the night of January 22 this year the pair were drinking and neighbours heard a disturbance, with Kirby becoming aggressive.
