A young woman has told how 'Siri' saved her life as she was being beaten and sexually abused by her convicted criminal partner.

- by Post Reporter

Emma-Louise Kelly, 34, was attacked by her then boyfriend Lee Thomas, 45, at her home in Chorley, on January 11 after they came back from dinner together.

The mum-of-one was slapped, punched, kicked, strangled as well as verbally and sexually abused for more than 30 minutes by Thomas who has since been imprisoned for six years and four months for his crimes.

Police only arrived at her house and arrested Thomas after Emma-Louise shouted at Siri to "call 999" while she was helplessly at Thomas's mercy.
