Man flies out to Ukraine to rekindle romance with refugee he ditched his wife for

A father who ditched his family for a Ukrainian refugee has flown out to her warn-torn country to rekindle their whirlwind romance.

Earlier this year Sofiia Karkadym, 22, fled Ukraine as war struck and was welcomed into the home of Tony Garnett, his wife, and children. But 10 days after she moved in, Mr Garnett and Ms Karkadym began a romantic relationship. The security guard ditched his wife and moved with Ms Karkadym into their own home, telling media that they planned to spend the rest of their lives together.

However, the relationship quickly descended into chaos, with Ms Karkadym arrested twice in the space of just two days. She was released without charge both times. Mr Garnett, 30, previously told Yorkshire Live that there was "absolutely no chance" of them getting back together after her alleged drunken outbursts.
