A brave taxi driver helped a woman escape the clutches of a convicted killer after he threatened to "chop her up."
The woman had been in a relationship with Christopher Alanazy, 42, for seven years at the time he made threats to kill her. For five of those years they had been together, Alanazy had been a serving prisoner.
Leeds Crown Court heard on Friday that following his release from his last custodial sentence, the woman reported a "change" in Alanazy who would "shout and swear and refer to his use of cocaine and heroin and made references to plans to kill himself."
