Man Injures Girlfriend When She Tried to Leave

Trudi Burgess, 57, was left paralyzed after her ex-partner, Robert Easom, 56, violently attacked her when she attempted to leave him, severing her spinal cord. Following an 11-hour surgery, she now requires a wheelchair and home adaptations for independence. Easom was convicted of grievous bodily harm within 27 minutes by a jury and will be sentenced in February. Trudi’s children have initiated a GoFundMe to raise funds for her care and an accessible home, reaching £127,817 of their £200,000 goal.
