Supervision for abuser of student who killed herself

A man who attacked his student girlfriend days before she took her own life has been sentenced to community service.

Angus Milligan, 21, admitted behaving in a threatening and abusive manner towards Emily Drouet in March last year at a student hall of residence in Aberdeen. He also admitted assaulting her.

Ms Drouet, 18, a law student at Aberdeen University, was found dead in her room on 17 March, 2016.

Milligan, who pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing, was sentenced to 180 hours of unpaid work when he appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court yesterday. He was also placed under supervision for one year.

Ms Drouet’s mother, Fiona, said: “We will never give up on our fight to make sure no other young woman suffers at the hands of Milligan and other sick predators.”
