Abused mum's five-word whisper to taxi driver that saved her life

A woman secretly hushed five words to a taxi driver as she feared for her life following a six-hour attack from her ex-partner.

Daniel Little, 33, of Henshall Avenue, Warrington, left mum-of-two Rosie Frankish, 26, from Warrington, fearing for her life after forcing his way into her home and launching the vile attack. He then dragged her into a taxi, wearing her pyjamas and covered with dog faeces and urine. But quick-thinking Rosie managed to secretly alert the taxi driver – and he drove her to safety.

Little was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court last week after admitting assault occasioning actual bodily harm and false imprisonment. He was jailed for three years and seven months.
