  • Swedish incidents include a woman locking an aggressive man on her balcony in Stockholm.
  • Tracy was arrested multiple times, with GMP finding her ex-partner gave incorrect information.

A 31-year-old woman named Chloe from Gravesend, Kent, believed a man was living in her loft and was prescribed anti-psychotic drugs after others thought she was crazy, according to multiple reports. Chloe noticed the loft hatch was open and heard footsteps, leading her to suspect someone was living above her. She then saw the man opening the loft latch and staring at her, causing her to scream for help. Chloe called the police, who entered the loft and found a man living there with bags and backpacks. According to multiple reports, Chloe described being given anti-psychotic drugs that made her feel like a 'zombie' and 'not even a person', while her friends suggested her suspicions might be 'voices in her head' and that she was 'crazy'.

Neighbors confirmed the man's presence after police discovered him. A spokesperson from Moat Housing stated that customer safety is important and they worked with police to investigate the incident, leading to an arrest. The identity and motive of the man found living in Chloe's loft in Gravesend remain unknown, as authorities have not released further details about his background or intentions.

In a separate incident in Stockholm, a woman called police because an aggressive man came to her home and refused to leave, so she locked him on the balcony, according to multiple reports. During police response, a neighbor reported broken glass, but the man was still on the balcony when police arrived. The man in Stockholm was detained and removed from the scene, with the type of report still unclear. The specific charges and legal outcomes for the men involved in the Swedish incidents in Stockholm, Halland, and Holmsund are not yet publicly confirmed.

In Halland, a woman was found after several hours by worried relatives, according to multiple reports. In Holmsund, a man refused to leave a woman's home. A person is charged with home invasion and child peace violation, though details on the exact charges and legal proceedings remain unspecified.

Tracy had sent about 10 messages in seven days to her ex-partner, a GMP officer, because he wasn't allowing contact with their daughter.

In 2016, Tracy's father was woken by torch lights in his garden and police officers thumped on his door looking to arrest Tracy for harassment, according to research. Tracy was staying with her sick grandmother over 50 miles away when police first visited her parents' house. Greater Manchester Police officers arrested Tracy just after midnight at her grandmother's house the following night. According to research, Tracy described sending about 10 messages in seven days to her ex-partner, a GMP officer, because he wasn't allowing contact with their daughter.

Tracy's grandmother collapsed soon after the arrest and needed paramedics, which Tracy believes was due to shock. Tracy had been arrested multiple times before, which she feels her ex-partner orchestrated using his police position to intimidate her. Tracy was arrested 10 times in four years, with two convictions. According to research, Tracy described her ex-partner's actions as a form of coercive control only available to a police officer, and she said he replied 'I am the police' when she threatened to report him to the force.

Greater Manchester Police found in a misconduct investigation that Tracy's ex-partner gave 'factually incorrect' and incomplete information to courts and police, knowing it would likely lead to her arrest, according to research. GMP said Tracy's ex-partner had no misconduct case to answer because he wasn't acting in his job as a police officer during the events. According to research, Victims' Commissioner Vera Baird described GMP's reasoning as not acceptable and that such stories bring police into disrepute. Whether Tracy's ex-partner faced any disciplinary action or consequences beyond the misconduct investigation by GMP is unknown, as no further actions have been disclosed.

Ryan Wellings was found guilty of assault and coercive and controlling behavior but cleared of manslaughter in the death of Kiena Dawes, according to research. Kiena Dawes took her own life on July 22, 2022, after domestic violence. Wellings was the first defendant tried before a jury accused of unlawful killing after a partner's suicide following domestic violence. Wellings denied all charges and made no reaction as verdicts were read. According to research, Ryan Wellings described never intentionally hitting Dawes and any injuries were from restraining her when she attacked him.

Tracy said her ex-partner replied 'I am the police' when she threatened to report him to the force.

Kiena Dawes left a note saying 'I was murdered' and that Wellings had 'killed [her]' before her suicide, according to research. Dawes had a history of mental health problems, drug and alcohol use, and suicide attempts before and after meeting Wellings, according to the defence. The exact circumstances leading to Kiena Dawes' suicide and the full extent of Ryan Wellings' role in her death remain unclear, as the trial did not establish a direct causal link for manslaughter.

Irene Williams was found with severe head trauma and a broken leg after falling into a courtyard in San Ysidro, according to police. Albert Turner was arrested for allegedly throwing Irene Williams off a third-floor walkway during an argument. Williams began throwing Turner's belongings over the railing before he threw her over, according to police. Turner had been living with Williams for about 30 days before the incident, according to a neighbor. According to research, a neighbor described Williams as a frail little old lady and Turner as a big, muscular guy.
