"Evans had a history of abuse towards Alicia, with her mother recounting to Al Jazeera the first time it occurred. The first time he actually bashed her, she was on the phone to me. And the next minute, I heard him come across and try to grab her phone, Little said. I heard her say, Get your hands off my throat. I can't breathe.' And the next minute, you hear him say, You're better off dead.'"
"Little told how she had taken photos of her daughter's terrible injuries. She had broken ribs. She had a broken cheekbone, broken jaw, black eyes, and where he'd had her around the throat, you could see his finger marks. It was a bruise, and where he'd give her a kick, and right down the side, you could see his foot marks."
Alicia Little made a phone call to her mother minutes before she was killed in December 2017. Alicia was about to leave a four-and-a-half-year abusive relationship and had also contacted emergency police during a drunken rage by her fiancé Charles Evans. Evans had a history of violent attacks, leaving Alicia with broken ribs, cheekbone, jaw, black eyes, finger marks on her throat and foot marks down her side. Patterns of temporary separations followed by returns after promises to change allowed the violence to escalate. Alicia's mother photographed the injuries and vows to advocate for her daughter.
