Relentless Abuse Exposed
Meredith admitted:
- Two counts of controlling and coercive behaviour
- Three assaults causing actual bodily harm
- Three counts of intentional strangulation
- One count of stalking causing serious alarm and distress
The terrifying ordeal came to light in November 2022 when the victim bravely spoke out.
From Strangulation to Stalking
Meredith repeatedly strangled and punched his partner. After being arrested and questioned, he was released — only to try hacking into her social media. He also sent her two personalised cards and emailed her, continuing his reign of control and fear.
