WOMAN CALLING ON CITY COUNCIL TO REHOUSE HER AND FAMILY
A domestic abuse survivor says she fears for her life (picture posed by model)
A BIRMINGHAM survivor of domestic abuse says she’s fearing for her life after learning her attacker has been released from prison.
The mum has alerted Birmingham City Council to her violent ex-partner's release and is urgently calling on the authority to rehouse her, saying her abuser knows exactly where she lives.
She fears her attacker will “never stop” until she becomes another “statistic”.
Since his release from jail over the Christmas period, the frightened mum says she has heard “loud” noises coming from the back of her home late at night.
