Greater Manchester Police have apologised to a woman who claims she was abused by her ex-partner during lockdown after they admitted multiple failings in her case.
The alleged victim, who has asked for her identity to be kept anonymous, claims she was beaten, tormented and controlled by her former boyfriend who had a drink and drugs problem.
Despite not wanting to support a prosecution at first, the woman said she changed her mind after looking back through horrific injury pictures she had taken of herself.
