0When problems struck on the farm Kevin Wigley had called home for his whole life, his relationship with his wife Kerry changed overnight.
Suddenly, after years of a happy and settled marriage, Kerry was subjected to months of mental, emotional and physical abuse at the hands of her husband.
The campaign of abuse culminated with Kevin trying to kill his wife by hitting her in the head with an axe, before taking his own life.
Kerry is now sharing her experiences as part of our domestic abuse awareness campaign – which this year has a particular focus on rural and agricultural communities which are often quite isolated.
