The Relationship
Amy met Christopher Malcolm on the dating app Tinder around the end of August 2023. Within the first week she had met his parents, within months they were living together, and they were engaged by Christmas. Malcolm quickly began exerting control over Amy's life, insisting she delete social media and hiding or taking her phone when family called. He turned up at her work and demanded she leave early, threatening to cause a scene.
Intervention and Arrest
Amy's loved ones grew increasingly worried and made several reports to Police Scotland's disclosure scheme for domestic abuse. They supplied evidence including text messages and photos of her injuries. This helped officers build a strong enough case to arrest Malcolm, who was taken into custody in September 2024. Shortly afterwards, Amy gave a full report of the rapes, assaults, and abuse she had been subjected to.
