Nadine Lott's mother has described the scene at her daughter's apartment, where she was beaten by her former partner to the point where she was "completely unrecognisable", as one of "total horror".

Claire Lott told the Central Criminal Court today that her family are "haunted" by thoughts of her daughter's "terror, fear, panic and cries" during the "prolonged, evil attack" carried out by Daniel Murtagh, a man she described as a "monster".
