WOMAN KIDNAPPED, STRIPED NAKED AND TIED TO A TREE BY HER BOYFRIEND

Sophie Lazell, age 26, was in her home when Daniel Jones rudely barged into her home and grabbed her by the hair before bundling her into his car in front of her horrified family.

He then drove his terrified partner miles away to an abandoned quarry in Hampshire where he chillingly told her: "There's a hole dug for you."

Daniel then ordered Sophie to strip naked before tying her to a tree with her pyjamas and driving off, leaving her freezing cold and petrified.

She latter escaped, hiding in a bramble bush and running through fields naked for around an hour until she found a house which was occupied by an elderly couple who called 999.

Remarkably, she suffered only cuts and bruises in the attack, although she has been left anxious and “on red alert”.

“I suffered anxiety attacks and had nightmares.” said Sophie

In July last year Jones, of Tongham, Hampshire, appeared at Salisbury Crown Court where he pleaded guilty to kidnap.

Neighbours of Sophie said they had heard Jones say: “You can run Sophie, but you won’t get far.” and her eldest son was heard to say: “He's going to kill my mum.”

In August, he was sentenced to 20 months in prison for kidnap, and received a five-year restraining order. Although  Sophie had hoped he get longer.”

She urged other women to be alert to potential warnings of domestic abuse.

“My parents had been shocked that Daniel was capable of hurting me,” she said.
