Soon after the partner of successful businesswoman Amanda Morrison moved in with her, he packed in his job, settled into the comfortable home she owned, and put his feet up. He demanded money from her and she refused. So, he locked his hands around her neck and throttled her.
It was the first time he had been violent towards her, and she was adamant it would be the last. Amanda arranged a job for him on a tug boat out at sea, dumped his belongings at his friend’s house, and changed the locks. That is when the nightmare began.
“I experienced full-blown stalking,” she said. “He was very angry and wanted to destroy me after I ended the relationship.”
