A ‘violent monster’ who was jailed for abusing his partner before her death has been offered a taste of freedom – after serving just one year behind bars.
Demi Hannaway, 23, died in May 2021 after Andrew Brown throttled, spat at, and hit her countless times over two years, often in front of their children.
Last year the 33-year-old admitted abusive and threatening behaviour and was jailed for three-and-a-half years.
A Fatal Accident Inquiry initially concluded that the 23-year-old killed herself, but her parents insist Brown may have been responsible.
Now just 13 months since a Sheriff accused him of ‘horrendous’ crimes and sent him to jail, Brown is preparing to spend up to a week every month on home leave.
