A Lanarkshire woman who was brutally abused by her police officer partner labelled a court's decision allowing him to miss a review hearing, “another kick in the teeth”.
Fraser Ross was placed on a Community Payback Order (CPO) in June last year after being convicted of assaulting Anne-Marie Hirdman a number of times at an address in Motherwell.
The Lanarkshire mum who was in a relationship with the 42-year-old for six years, claimed Ross subjected her to physical, verbal or emotional abuse on an almost-weekly basis. He later resigned from his job in disgrace, after 16 years with the police.
