A young guy, fresh out
of college, was dating a girl from work. She was way out of his league, but he
thought he could handle it. Gradually though his behaviour became more and more
controlling, until one day his jealousies caused such a row that she told him
to get out of her life forever. Distraught, he stalked the girl until she was
forced to get a restraining order against him.
In the grips of
obsession, the guy refused to let that stop him. Late one night he went to her house
to beg for a second chance. He’d stopped a few feet away so that he could
compose himself as he needed to be calm if he was going to get her to talk to
him. All of a sudden rage took over and he was hammering hard on her door. When
she didn’t answer, he banged on the windows, shouting for her attention. Still
being ignored, and pulling his mobile out of his pocket, he ran to the back of
the house, picked up a large potted plant and launched it through the patio
doors.
Just minutes later the
street was filled with the sound of sirens as police rushed to the scene. They
were answering two calls. One from a girl scared out of her wits by her
ex-boyfriend who was breaching the conditions of his restraining order. The
second from a guy who’d gone to his ex-girlfriend’s house only to spot a knife
wielding intruder lurking in the shadows of her bedroom.
The police arrived too
late to save either of them.
