"This abhorrent behaviour and abuse is totally unacceptable and I would urge Lewis Dunn, who could have information which would assist our inquiry, or anyone who knows where he is to come forward." He added: "No-one should have to tolerate being treated this way regardless of their gender or sexual orientation.

Making those first steps and reporting abuse can be daunting and there are many reasons why people find it hard to do, but there is support available, not just from the police, but other organisations too. “Domestic abuse is a priority for the force and our work remains firmly focussed on investigating this abhorrent crime, supporting survivors and bringing offenders to justice.
