Ryan Giggs: Former Wales boss and Manchester United star on trial for domestic violence
Ryan Giggs's ex-girlfriend has told a jury she is “hugely ashamed” that she kept going back to the former Manchester United player who “kept promising the world”.
The trial of former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs has resumed for its fourth day on Thursday at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester.
Kate Greville was asked at Giggs's trial why she moved into the former Welsh international's home during the first Covid-19 lockdown if “he had been a serial and violent abuser”.
She said: “It was a cycle of abuse that made me feel insecure.
“I kept going back, he kept promising the world.”
Her voice broke as she told the jury: “He made me believe that he would not do it again and, stupidly, I went back. I am hugely ashamed of that but I did.”
Mr Giggs, 48, denies using controlling and coercive behaviour against Ms Greville between August 2017 and November 2020, assaulting her, causing actual bodily harm, and the common assault of her younger sister.
