Ryan Wellings denies ABH, coercive control and manslaughter
A woman who took her own life after two years of alleged domestic abuse told a 999 operator 'I don't want to die', two weeks before her death, a trial heard.
In a harrowing 999 call played in court, Kiena reported she had been involved in a road accident on July 4. She told the operator she had been thinking about mental health and "didn't even see the car in front". She said: "I've got a really bad mental health condition that has been getting a lot worse each day."
The jury was told Kiena had a diagnosis of Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder which put her at increased risk of suicide compared to the general population.
