A GUTTER cleaner who subjected a university student to months of torment, finally holding her captive in his flat and twice suffocating her with bedclothes until she passed out, has been jailed for over a year.
George MacDonald, 23, met his victim, who was 18 at the time of the offences, when she was studying at the University of Dundee.
They began going out at the beginning of last year but within months, he had begun a course of abusive behaviour towards her, Falkirk Sheriff Court was told.
