The mother of a woman who took her own life after suffering years of coercive control at the hands of a man she loved has said his jail term is not long enough. Chloe Holland, from Southsea, was the victim of harrowing physical violence and emotional abuse over a year long period from her partner, Marc Masterton.
He is now starting a near five year jail sentence for his crimes, but Sharon Holland feels the punishment is ‘totally unfair’. Chloe left behind a one-year-old boy, in what police said was one of the most appalling and heart-breaking cases of domestic abuse they have ever had to deal with.
