The Birmingham Mail reported that Lyall repeatedly told his partner she was fat and sent her a picture of three pigs, left her terrified he would kill her and even smothered her with a pillow a number of times.

He stopped her from wearing makeup, calculated the length of her trips, took food away from her and only allowed her to wear clothes he had approved of during months of abuse designed to 'humiliate and degrade' her.
