Most relationships hit a rough patch, but this 39-year-old woman seems to have had a particularly bad run of it. Since 2010, her live-in partner has attempted to kill her thrice now and though cases have been registered against him in all three instances, he managed to finagle his way out in the last two instances and is currently at large.
