Thomas Day
According to reports, Thomas Day, 39, had gone through his woman's phone while she was asleep only to find text messages that confirmed his fears that she was cheating on him.
Enraged, 26stone Thomas Day pounced on 6stone Helen and gave her the beating of her life, leaving her with horrific injuries that made her almost unrecognizable.
Her face was fractured in 20 places – including her cheeks, nose and eye sockets.
Surgeons had to plant metal plates into her jaw and cheeks and are trying to reconstruct Helen's face from photographs taken before the attack.

However, the shocker came when Miss Callaghan, in a chat with reporters insisted her boyfriend was not a monster despite what he did to her.
Here's what she told Manchester Evening News:
I was told a pathologist’s report found that one more blow possibly would have killed me. I was also told the type of injuries they found on me would normally be found on someone who was dead.
But I don’t think Thomas meant to hurt me in the way he did. I don’t think he meant to kill me or break the bones that he broke. He’s not a monster.”
Police first arrested Thomas on suspicion of attempted murder, to which Thomas said: 'If I wanted her dead, I would have killed her.'
He was later sentenced to 9 years, 4 months in prison and Miss Helen Callaghan says the sentence is too harsh.
