Emily Drouet, 18, from Glasgow, was found dead at her halls at Aberdeen University on March 18 last year – following weeks of furious rows with brute Angus Milligan, 21.The image shows Emily’s swollen face after a vicious assault – just seven days before she killed herself.
The law student took the selfie and sent it to an old school friend to record what had happened, the Daily Record reported.
Milligan, 21, pleaded guilty last Tuesday to three charges of assaulting Emily in the months leading up to her death.Emily’s distraught family released the image to show their daughter’s shocking transformation from a promising student to a bullied teenager.
They believe Milligan groomed Emily into a twisted sexual relationship, controlling her with violence and threats.
Her mum Fiona, 45, told the Sunday Mail:
“If she had never met Angus Milligan, she would be alive today.
“Emily was naive, she was innocent. She saw the world through good eyes. She was fun-loving, kind and smart and she never saw how beautiful she was, on the inside or the outside. She was a virgin when she went to university and I’m proud to say that.
“Within six months, that man destroyed our daughter and wrecked our lives. He’s just complete evil.”“I want to jump inside the picture and cuddle her. I want to tell her that she could have spoken to me, that she could have asked for help. We would have been there.”
They split after she cheated on him and Milligan attacked her in her flat on March 10 last year.
The pair got together again but Milligan dumped her on March 16 after another row.
Milligan confessed in court to choking Emily, from Glasgow, and sending her texts branding her a “slut”, “w***e”, “c****, “b***h” and “freak”.
They also believe the university could have done more to prevent their daughter’s death.
