I was screaming and begging for him to stop.
He got on top of me and began to strangle me.
I thought I was going to die." Nicole recounted that after a night out, they returned to his flat when he suddenly turned violent.

I want others to speak out." She highlighted that McMahon, father to four children, was initially remanded and charged but later lowered charges were accepted by prosecutors.
