Here are the faces of some of the criminals locked up in Wales in the past month.

They include a man who brutally stabbed his partner to death, a former mayor who sexually assaulted two young girls, and a woman who bit a police officer and said "I can taste your blood – yum yum".

These are their crimes.

Thomas Mullen

The pensioner and grandfather sexually assaulted a vulnerable teenager he found on the street after telling her she “reminded him of his daughter".

He invited her back to his home in Llanedeyrn in Cardiff for a hot drink and when they got there he locked the door and carried out a “frightening” sexual assault, later claiming the woman wanted to have sex with him because she had inadvertently licked her lips.

Robert Paul

This man hit his partner with a baseball bat so hard the weapon split before punching her in the face.

The assault, which followed an argument, was described as a "truly shocking" incident of domestic violence.

John Paul Lewis

Lewis was jailed for life for brutally stabbing his partner to death in a vicious knife attack.

Terrie-Ann Jones – known as "Tan" – suffered 26 separate stab and slash wounds at the hands of her abusive and controlling partner John Paul Lewis.

The 56-year-old had denied murder, claiming he was acting in self-defence.

But he was convicted of murdering the 33-year-old mother-of-two following an eight-day trial at Swansea Crown Court .

You can watch the moment murderer calmly told a police officer he had brutally stabbed his partner here.

The Newport man was found guilty of raping a teenage girl and sexually assaulting another.

The judge told the court the teenager was “strongly under the influence of alcohol” when Caston "made his move" on the first occasions – forcing her to perform oral sex.

The paedophile took alcohol and baby oil with him intending to meet a chat room user he believed to be a 12-year-old at a hotel.

The 47-year-old travelled from Leicester to Pontyclun to meet the "child" after grooming her online by telling her she could trust him and he would like to educate her about sex.

Icealyn McLennon

She bit an off-duty police officer on the face and told her: "I can taste your blood – yum yum".

Witnesses described McLennon as behaving "like an animal" on the evening in question, gouging the policewoman's eyes, pulling a clump of hair out, and sinking her teeth into her.

David Boswell

The former town mayor was jailed for 18 years for raping and sexually assaulting two young girls.

Boswell abused the girls – who were aged under nine – during the early 1990s.

Richard Willcox

The 33-year-old punched his sister's ex-boyfriend in the face at a Bridgend pub leaving him in a critical condition in hospital.

Willcox became enraged when he heard his sister’s former partner talking about her in the smoking area of the Masons Arms pub in Bryncethin in June 24.

In what was described as a “cheap shot” the defendant punched Mr Steel to the side of the face, causing him to the fall to the floor and lose consciousness for 30 minutes.

Jamie Jordan

The 29-year-old "goaded" armed police during a five-hour standoff and wanted to die at the hands of the officers.
