Very late last night a woman text our food bank hotline. 11:49pm. She said “is anyone there can anyone help me plz I have no food my kids are gonna wake up to no food what am I ment to do plz plz even if it’s just for breakfast..” That text was picked up and a call was made. She explained she’s no food and her ex partner was due to help her but he never arrived. She was broken. Payday is two weeks away. Thanks to my amazing team, we stepped up. Two of the Bramwell’s Hope team attended in the early hours of this morning, to ensure her children wake up to house full of food. This is why our food bank exists. To deliver hope during moments of despair. We wish her and her children the very best and we’ve left our details should she need us again 🙌🏽 #foodbank

This is Lee Milne (bottom right), from Dundee. He abused his wife, Kimberly Milne (bottom left), over a prolonged period. Lee seized Kimberly by the neck, restricted her breathing, repeatedly punched her head and body, struck her so she fell and lost consciousness, and repeatedly choked her. He also shouted and swore at her, called her names, tried to cut her off from her family, checked her phone, restricted her movements, and controlled her access to money and transport. The Crown Office also reported that he restrained dragged her, and locked her in their flat without food or money. CCTV from the day Kimberly died showed him acting aggressively towards her. She was seen cowering as he shouted, walking away as he drove at her, and hiding behind a wall. They later walked onto the same flyover. Kimberly climbed over the barrier and fell to her death. The jury found that Milne’s abusive behaviour caused her death. He was convicted of culpable homicide and domestic abuse. He received eight years in prison, followed by three years of supervision. He has lodged an intention to appeal both his conviction and sentence. Eight years in prison cannot bring Kimberly back. But her name must not be lost in the details of this case. This October, as domestic abuse awareness campaigns take place, remember that abuse is not only physical. Coercion, isolation, intimidation and financial control can destroy a person’s safety and independence. Remember her name: Kimberly Milne.
