“I believe that Yasmeen was fearing for her life on the night of the attack.

“Just like I’ve spent a lifetime living in fear of that man. But I’m not afraid anymore, so please stop putting words into my mouth.”

She added: “We concocted nothing, we’ve simply told our truths. There’s really nothing more to be said.”

Fans on DS Forums certainly think so, with one saying: “He’ll ‘fall’ off the roof top.”
