The Man Who Was So Badly Abused He was 10 Days From Death

When Alex Skeel was finally taken to a hospital in June 2017, doctor’s told him he was 10 days away from death.

His girlfriend at the time, Jordan Worth, subjected Alex to a year of torture and domestic violence and for nine months between 2016 – 2017, Alex was forced to sleep on the floor of their Bedfordshire home using clothes as blankets and pillows.

During one period, Alex was forced to ingest an entire packet of sleeping pills before going to a fair with Jordan.

Alex was only allowed to seek medical treatment after the police were called when Jordan had hit him in the arm with a bread knife, cutting Alex so deeply he almost bled out.

During their relationship, Jordan would throw boiling water on Alex while he slept, beat him on a daily basis, telling him that anytime she missed a day, she would then make up for it the following night.

Alex was never allowed to seek out medical attention for any of his injuries and at one point, was forced to pull out one of his teeth after Worth had struck him violently with a hairbrush.

In 2017 Jordan was sentenced to 7 years in prison on the charges of grievous bodily harm and an additional 6 months for coercive and abusive behaviour. She is the first woman in the entire United Kingdom to have been handed this sentence..

He had two children with Jordan and believed that if he didn’t take the abuse, she would turn her attention on to their children.

The abuse also didn’t start immediately, it was small things here and there at first.

Alex endured his torture purely to protect his own children as Jordan has threatened multiple times that she would injure their children.

Domestic Abuse doesn’t just affect woman, if you are a victim of domestic abuse, be it emotional, financial or physical please speak out, please find the strength to walk away
