A “pure evil” woman beater whose merciless abuse led to his partner taking her own life has now admitted coercive control on another woman who was left black and blue with bruises all over her body.
Southsea woman-hater Marc Masterton, 26, admitted a charge of coercive control at Portsmouth Crown Court against his former girlfriend Zoe Castle. She was tormented by the violent offender for over two years from July 2017 to September 2019.
The brave woman has now revealed the extent of the abuse she was subjected to and posted pictures on social media of her battered body covered in large bruises. Ms Castle said she was inspired to come forward after learning of the tragic death of Masterton’s recent girlfriend Chloe Holland on February 1 last year.
