Mother says daughter was 'flourishing' at university

A man has admitted abusing and assaulting his student girlfriend who later took her own life.

Angus Milligan admitted choking and slapping 18-year-old Emily Drouet at halls of residence in Aberdeen.

The law student was found dead several days later in March last year.

Speaking outside court, her mother Fiona Drouet said her daughter had initially been "flourishing" at university.
