Tori Towey woke up in a haze in her bathroom, surrounded by police speaking Arabic and paramedics giving her oxygen.

Earlier that night, after being the victim of domestic violence and terrified she was going to be killed, she escaped to the bathroom and at her lowest ebb, tried to take her own life and lost consciousness.
