A mum-of-two, who was scarred for life in a brutal attack at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, is now urging others to leave their abusive partners. Lauren Adcock, 28, of Walsall, West Midlands, was viciously assaulted by Jajay Flynn, 26, in a terrifying three hour ordeal after he burnt her with a lighter and cigarettes. Eventually she managed to escape and fled to hospital where scans revealed she had suffered fractures to her hand, as well as horrific burns, and multiple bruises. In September, Flynn was jailed for five-and-a-half years at Wolverhampton Crown Court after pleading guilty to two counts of wounding with intent of grievous bodily harm.
