Pierce and Rhona got married in 2017 and he had been known to be violent before their wedding day.
On their wedding night, Pierce took Rhona by surprise when he announced he had bought them a new home. Rhona was confused as they had not discussed moving house to somewhere new.
Pierce then accused Rhona of not being over her ex-husband, Paddy. Rhona admitted that while drunk she had kissed Paddy.
Pierce accused her of having led Paddy on, before going on to attack and rape her.
Rhona reported her sexual attack to the police and the case was taken to trial, which ended with Pierce being sent to prison for his actions.
Rhona recently learned that her ex was due for release. What she doesn’t yet know is that he murdered her new lover Graham and has been stalking her in the village.
