Chloe Fewster, 20, feared she was going to die when Allan MacGilvray, 25, became controlling and abusive just two months into their relationship. The thug turned up at Chloe’s family home on Christmas Day last year, dragged Chloe out of the shower and took her against her will to an address about 30 miles away – all because she didn’t answer her phone to him earlier that day.

MacGilvray kept his partner in the property for three weeks, until she managed to escape.

But the yob was jailed for three years this week after admitting causing actual bodily harm and criminal damage. He was convicted of assaulting another woman, causing actual bodily harm. He was cleared of rape.

Recorder Ben Nolan QC, who jailed him this week, branded MacGilvray a “highly unpredictable, volatile, controlling and dangerous man.”

Speaking to Hull Live after the sentencing, Chloe said: “I went through three weeks of constant daily physical abuse, I was scared like I had never been scared before.

“At times I thought he was going to kill me.”

The court heard MacGilvray took Chloe from her family home on Christmas Day last year, but the pair became homeless and sleeping between various houses belonging to his friends.

They sought help from a homeless organisation, Nomad. However, the yob made Chloe leave after they asked “too many personal questions” and he was worried he was going to get reported to the police, who were looking for him for the rape charge, and Chloe, after she was reported missing.

In that time he regularly beat Chloe, including inflicting cuts on her head, face and ears with a meat cleaver.

Meanwhile her desperate family were putting out appeals for information on social media about her and feared she was dead.

Chloe was eventually found by police in Lincoln city centre, black and blue, after the drug spice had left MacGilvray unable to walk and she fled from him.

She had used her card which led police straight to her. But terrified Chloe wouldn’t return home until MacGilvray was found and arrested a few days later.

Chloe, of Hull, said: “Police finally found me in Lincoln, black and blue, with marks in my head from a meat cleaver. I’d had a knife dug in my ribs and held to my throat. He put a pillow over my face and strangled me from behind like a choke-hold and made me pass out. There’s so much more that he did to me, as well as smashing up my stuff.

“He smashed up my phone so I couldn’t call anyone. I couldn’t even go to the toilet on my own, he didn’t trust me to do that without being paranoid that I was going to make an escape. He smashed up my make-up because I was taking ages to put it on, as he forced me to wear make-up every day to cover up the black eyes he gave me.

“When I was missing he was on my social media pretending to be me, making me send a photo to friends and family to show I was ‘fine’. The phone I was using was a woman’s who he knew as he’d smashed mine already.”

But the sentence relating to Chloe’s treatment by MacGilvray amounted to just one year.

Chloe, who is currently unable to work due to the trauma she’s suffered, said she feels “angry” and feels that justice has not been served.

“I now find it hard to leave my home I feel depressed and isolated. Before this I was always happy and socialising but he’s took that happiness away from me and I’m a shadow of my former self,” Chloe continued.

“I don’t trust anyone, especially men anymore, and I’m finding it hard to build new relationships because of this. Since being found I’ve also felt angry. I’ve felt angry that someone thought they had the right to use violence to control me and my life, violence to make me do and say what they wanted.

“He got one year for me because he pleaded guilty. After everything that I went through, getting brayed every day and wondering if he’s going to end up killing me as things were getting worse every day, what was even the point? This isn’t justice at all.”

However, Chloe said she is trying to rebuild her life now, and said she doesn’t want it to be overshadowed by what he did.

“I’ve realised I won’t allow myself to be a violent angry person because of having been at the hands of one – Allan MacGilvray. But I want other women to know what he’s like and what he’s capable of. He’s a very dangerous person.”

Chloe’s mum, Kerry McDougall said she would like to thank the police for getting her daughter back to her and wants to warn others about his vile actions.

She said: “When Chloe was missing I had messages off other women, it must have been four or five women who had been previous victims of Allan MacGilvray. They were reaching out warning me about this man’s history, and their stories were horrendous.

“I started to worry that he may go too far this time and it will be my daughter he ends up killing.

“I couldn’t get my head round how he was still able to walk the streets.

“I had three weeks of constant worry and wondering what was happening to her, not knowing if she was still in Hull or not. I knew something was seriously wrong.

“When the police found her she was in Lincoln, she had black eyes, bruised ears, and face, and cuts in her head where he had hit her with a meat cleaver. She was still very scared and wouldn’t come home until she knew he had been put on remand.

“Twelve months in prison for keeping someone against their will and physically abusing them everyday for three weeks is shocking. Especially with his long list of previous convictions for similar offences.”
