The attack left the woman with horrific injuries around her body and after being rushed to hospital, was diagnosed with a brain bleed and mild hypothermia.
Hours after coming home, Woods told his mum he “may have murdered someone” and asked her to call 999. The court heard that Woods also made reference to showing the authorities “where the body was” after he was arrested.
The victim’s injuries included severe bruising on her face and head. Her right eye was also swollen, shut and badly bruised.
She also suffered deep and extensive bruising to her neck and spinal tenderness at the back of her neck.
There was also swelling above her right eye socket and cheek and she had a cut along the right jaw bone and on the inside of her upper lip, which was also swollen.
