She survived a savage attack by her boyfriend — now she’s studying law in order to help other victims of domestic violence.
7 years ago Louisa Marke, of Cambridge, England, was three months pregnant when her boyfriend, Peter Scott, poured a kettle of boiling water over her, causing 20 per cent burns over her neck and chest.
He had gotten progressively more jealous and paranoid throughout their relationship, but Marke believed it was a phase he would outgrow.
According to The Sun, Marke commented about the incident: “I never imagined someone could be so callous — especially not to the woman who was carrying his own child….To this day it’s hard to comprehend how anybody could do something so awful to another human being.”
Scott was jailed for three years after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
