Woman Held Hostage For 9 Months After Visiting BF For The First Time
24-year old Becky Keegan has told of how she was held
hostage for nine months by boyfriend, David Lacey who trained his dog to bite
her. Becky Keegan only escaped by climbing through a kitchen window, breaking
her ankle as she frantically ran away.
The 24-year-old had no electricity to keep warm for almost a
year, had her mobile phone stolen by him, and was prevented from contacting any
of her relatives. The brute confiscated her bank cards and ensured she wore the
same clothes every day.
But after one weekend visit in April, last year, he
imprisoned Becky in his house and she didn't escape until January this year –
nearly nine months later.
Lacey was jailed for 22 months after pleading guilty to
false imprisonment. Now living with her mum Elizabeth, 44, Becky hopes to
rebuild her life and become a care worker.
