The 47-year-long reign of abuse suffered by Eve Graham at the hands of her ex-husband should shock Scotland.

Eve was subjected to the most horrific attacks by William McDonald – including punches, biting, mental torture and even pushing her off a pier.

The gran has bravely decided to tell her story in the Daily Record today to encourage other women to come forward.

She suffered in silence for too long and she wants other domestic abuse victims to raise alarm bells as soon as they can.

We are backing Eve’s call 100 per cent and think it’s essential that support for women in these situations is improved.

However, after suffering for 47 years Eve is furious at seeing her husband jailed for just two years.

She says the sentence is too lenient – and we agree this is another example of the courts going easy on
