Tributes are pouring in to mark what would have been the 23rd birthday for a teenager driven to suicide by her abusive boyfriend.
Emily Drouet died after suffering a vicious campaign of mental and physical abuse by Angus Milligan at Aberdeen University.
She was in her first year of a law degree in 2016 when she was choked pushed and slapped.
Then just weeks after her 18th birthday she took her own life as a result of the horror relationship.
Now on what would be her 23rd today loved ones are hoping she is celebrating 'in heaven'.
Charity EmilyTest set up 'to improve prevention, intervention and support concerning gender-based violence' paid tribute on Twitter.
They shared emotional pictures of her blowing out the candles before losing her life at university.
The charity tweeted: "Our precious, darling girl would be 23 today.
"Words can't describe how sorely we all miss her, so much stolen from us all.
"We hope heaven celebrates birthdays like we did together.
"Happy birthday Emily Pemily
"We pray you can feel our love."
The law student was tragically found dead in her halls of residence in March 2016.
Former boyfriend Angus Milligan was later convicted of physically and verbally abusing her and was subsequently expelled from the university.
Aberdeen Sheriff Malcolm Garden branded Milligan “controlling” with an “ultimately violent approach” but said he was powerless to impose a custodial sentence.
After he walked free, Emily’s furious parents, Fiona and dad Germain, who live in Glasgow, claimed Milligan’s violent actions had driven their daughter to suicide.
Now they are campaigning for more awareness of domestic violence and how to spot the signs.
A new award has also been created at Aberdeen University to honour the legacy of a student who took her own life following an abusive relationship.
The new award will recognize students who have gone over and above in the support of a friend or fellow student.
