Alice Ruggles, 24, still cared about Trimaan “Harry” Dhillon, 26, despite his campaign of emotional blackmail after she ended their relationship because of his cheating, a court heard. Jurors were told Ruggles grew so concerned by Dhillon’s behaviour that she reported him to the police after he had travelled from his barracks in Edinburgh to knock on her bedroom window at night. Richard Wright QC, prosecuting, said Alice called the police again on 7 October last year. Wright told Newcastle crown court: “He put the decision on Alice’s shoulders: ‘do you want us to arrest him or not?’ Sadly the dilemma this young girl was left in is obvious. Wright said Dhillon took photographs of her backyard, perhaps as reconnaissance, two nights before the murder.
