A woman who moved town to escape her "violent and abusive" former partner was "petrified" when he made an appearance at her new home, an inquest into her death has heard. Jessica Louise Laverack, known as Jessie, moved to East Yorkshire from Rotherham in 2017 to escape her ex-boyfriend Patrick Walsh.
Despite moving towns, Mr Walsh found out where Jessie lived and sent her a letter, before showing up unannounced at her new home. Jessie was tragically discovered dead in Beverley on February 2, 2018.
Her death was subject to a domestic homicide review. These reviews are carried out in cases where a death "has, or appears to have, resulted from violence, abuse or neglect by a person to whom they were related or with whom they were, or had been, in an intimate personal relationship, or a member of the same household as themselves", Hull Live reports.
