A mum has recalled how her murderous ex-boyfriend 'lovebombed' her with affectionate messages in an attempt to manipulate her emotions.
Natalie Wood, 29, met George Bannister on dating site Badoo in April 2022. Their relationship quickly escalated, to the point that 31-year-old Bannister proposed and moved into her home, plying her with loving messages calling her "beautiful" and detailing his infatuation.
However, he quickly became violent towards the mum-of-two, prompting her six-year-old daughter to ask why she had bruises on her face. Yorkshire Live reports that Bannister has been jailed for five years and four months after pleading guilty to two counts of making threats to kill, one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of assault by beating.
