Wissenswertes
The real "Ashley" lived in Nottingham UK. The real "Reece" will serve at least 20 years on a life sentence. It was raised from 15, after his appeal of the sentence in The Court of Appeal, due to the level of violence and use of an ironing board as a weapon.

Zitate
Ashley: [voice over] This is where my story ends. It started when I fell in love, but it is not a love story.

A portrait of an abusive relationship

Murdered by my boyfriend is based on true facts. The title actually gives the game away.

It is a harrowing drama especially when things get ugly. The drama is about a relationship between Ashley, a 17 year old college student who meets a slightly older boy Reece at a party. Reece is nice, charming and they both get together. That is day one of the relationship.

We see the couple at various points in the time-line, when Ashley gets pregnant she realises that Reece is a control freak. Always wanting to know what she is up to, trying to control her. Eventually Reece also becomes violent, lashing out on Ashley. Her friends discover bruises and she is reluctant to leave. The police are called but at first Ashley is reluctant to say anything.

When Ashley discovers that Reece might be cheating on her, he manages to manipulate things and spin it around leaving Ashley confused. Even when violent he seems to have power over her to keep her with him.

Eventually Ashley does throw him out but Reece gets more manic and still harasses her to no ends.

The final scenes are harrowing and Reece was sent to jail for 15 years which was increased later to 20 years.

The drama is well acted by Georgina Campbell and Royce Pierreson. The story was based on interviews with friends and family of the real life victim. It shows how women can be trapped in a spiralling circle where thy are reluctant to leave their partners because they are so emotionally traumatised and unable to make any of their own decisions because they have been so manipulated. Even if they leave they are still stalked and harassed.
