“When the abuse started, I told no one. It would have been too easy for him to kill me if he wanted to, being a police officer he always had a gun on him. I don’t understand how these women can go on television and speak so openly about their problems, it doesn’t surprise me that they end up dead…I went to the police to press charges three times, but they did nothing…I trusted them to give me some sort of comfort, some protection…In the end, he was never prosecuted for domestic violence and is still a police officer”.
