The Killed Women group recently introduced "black and blue plaques" to mark victims' deaths, in reference to the description "beaten black and blue".

She agreed they usually fought about “petty” or “trivial” topics.The first incident was on 25 January 2020, when the couple were fighting about sterilising their baby’s bottles.

“Obviously from having two children before, I was trying to explain to him about the importance of sterilising it," said Ms Burley.She denied throwing the bottle in her husband’s direction, and slamming a door into his back.Mr King said: “He took hold of your wrists, he was asking you to stop behaving like that and calm down. He took you down to the floor because you were not calming down.”

Ms Burley said this had nothing to do with how she was acting, it was "just what he did", adding: “I had the baby in my arms, I went into the bedroom and sat behind the door.”Mr King said his client forced his way into the bedroom because he was “very worried” she might hurt herself.

Ms Burley told the court that was “just an excuse he has made up” and "he just wanted to hurt me”.

The arguments continued over the next few months, with Mr Orphan “often leaving”, the court heard.Cardiff Crown Court heard the pair fought frequently, and had been squabbling via text message on the evening leading up to the incident.

Mr Orphan denies causing grievous bodily harm with intent.Ms Burley told the court she still suffered with pain and struggled to play with her children due to the injuries she sustained.

The couple met in late 2017, when they were both working for Gwent Police.Ms Burley was a custody detention officer, before passing her basic police officer training in August 2018, and Mr Orphan joined the force as a constable in May 2016.
