Relatives of Yasmine Wafah Chkaifi have claimed that Leon Mccaskie, 41, abused the mother of two during their two-year marriage.

After their divorce three years ago, Ms. Chkaifi, a mature student of Moroccan descent, obtained a restraining order against McCaskie and installed a panic alarm in her apartment because she was too afraid of her ex-husband, one of her sons said.

But the savage attack was only stopped when a passing motorist struck the man with a knife on the pavement and also struck the mother of two. Police said last night that a 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.

“It was a very abusive relationship that got worse after the divorce. This man continually harassed and intimidated my mother. He made her life hell,’ the son told MailOnline.

He added: ‘I was always in contact with the police but they did nothing to help here. There was even a panic alarm installed in our apartment; that’s how scared she was of this man. He was a monster.

Earlier, her son tearfully said, “She didn’t deserve to die, please keep her in her prayers.” Everyone who knew her knew that she was a good person.

The man, who did not want to give his name, added: ‘The driver had them both under his car, the boy and the girl. Two old men and I had to lift the car and get the body out of it. We were giving him CPR but he had stab wounds everywhere. We couldn’t stop the blood.
