William James Murdoch, 43, Glasgow, is the first person to be convicted of a pattern of abusive behaviours since the new #DomesticAbuse (Scotland) Act was introduced on 1st April 2019. 
DSU @gordonmccreadie said: "The introduction of the Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act marks a new era in how Scotland tackles domestic abuse.
"Those coercive and controlling behaviours, that for so long were the hidden aspects of abuse, are now being brought into the open. With the new law, we can now investigate and report, the full circumstances of an abusive relationship to Crown, as happened in this case.
