When the police went to see her she was adamant that she was the householder and had defended herself against an intruder!
It took a lot of work to eventually get her out and prevent her from (legally) returning, but she returned time-and-again to attack him in his garden and near his home.
He sold the house and moved away, but she found him somehow, and the attacks continued.
HMP has her now.

One of my brothers has been suffering serious emotional abuse from his wife for many years and it's still going on long after they separated as a result of her having several affairs. Despite his efforts to arrange an amicable divorce, she does her best to make his life as miserable as possible whether it be 'blackmailing' with regard to their children, openly taunting/intimidating him and getting in his face or her refusal to discuss the divorce when he tries to raise the subject. Truth is nobody gives a toss about how he's been treated but he'd only need to be aggressive just once and we all know what would happen.
