Abused boyfriend was '10 days away from death' when he was rescued by cops from his ex
A 22-year-old Bedfordshire man was just "10 days away from death" when police and medics helped him get out of a hellish relationship with his abusive ex.
According to reports, Alex Skeel was battered, stabbed and even starved by his ex, Jordan Worth, for months on end until he was left feeling debilitated and helpless.
However, he continued being with Worth, fearing that she would run him over with a car if he did not.
The resident of Stewartby was isolated from his friends and family by his former abusive girlfriend, rendering him all alone.
Skeel, however, emerged as an abuse survivor from the ordeal and is now publicly speaking about his torment, in an effort to urge other victims in abusive relationships to speak out.
Skeel, who was made to sleep on the floor for nine months by his former girlfriend, told
The Sun: “I suppose I thought to myself this was how relationships were, but I know now it wasn’t normal.”
It was his first relationship.
Worth was subsequently arrested and pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm and coercive controlling behavior.
She has been sentenced to seven-and-a-half years of prison sentence, according to reports.
The Bedfordshire Police said that the prosecution is the country's first conviction for coercive control involving a female offender.
Reports state that Luton Crown Court was informed that Worth and Skeel met in 2012 at college. They were both 16 years of age at the time.
