Kimberly Milne was 28 when she climbed over the barrier of a motorway bridge and jumped to her death. 

That night, witnesses had seen her cowering from her husband, Lee Milne, in a retail park in Dundee, as he trapped her against a wall. CCTV footage showed her trying to get away while he shouted, drove a car at her and pulled her back into his orbit.
