On January 13, Goodenough’s prison sentence was increased from 12 months to three years after he was referred to Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) scheme by the Solicitor General.
The 42-year-old was convicted of stalking, assaulting and kidnapping his former partner.

The statement read: “I know a lot of you would have seen the news about me this week and I know I have let a lot of you down but there are always two sides to a story and mine will be told in good time.
“After months of receiving help and guidance I now know I was suffering from a mental breakdown and on that night I simply snapped.
“This is not me condoning my actions I am just trying to paint a picture of what was going on in my life at that time. All I ask from everyone is that you read the key parts of the report and not the sensationalised headline.
“I cannot apologise enough to my ex-partner for putting her through this. An eight-year relationship will now be remembered for nine minutes of madness and I will forever be sorry for it.
“I have also heard about a statement that’s been released from someone that I called a friend, again I will address this and its content in due course too!
“I’m sorry for letting you all down, I do not deserve anything from anyone but just know I am sorry.
“Take care and see you in a few years. DT.”
