A man is jailed for life after killing his partner using a claw hammer, according to multiple reports. The court hears that he carried out the attack while he was under a ban that restricted him from seeing or approaching her. Reporting across outlets describes the killing as a domestic incident and notes that the ban was in place at the time of the offence, indicating he acted despite legal restrictions. The exact length of the life sentence and sentencing details are not provided in the supplied excerpts, but both sources characterise the case as murder and specify the use of a claw hammer. They also agree that the victim was his partner and that the accused was prohibited from going near her. The articles focus on the conviction and the fact that the killing occurred during the period of the court-imposed exclusion from contact. No further specifics about the investigation, trial evidence, or statements from the prosecution or defence are included in the text provided.
