This is the moment controlling Ben Fitton was arrested.
Ben Fitton, 33, from Glossop in Derbyshire, was found guilty of two counts of rape, non-fatal strangulation, coercive and controlling behaviour and causing grievous bodily harm by a jury at Manchester Crown Court in September.
He was sentenced last week to 18 years behind bars.
Video now released and shared with the Manchester Evening News shows the moment he was arrested by police, and his subsequent interview.
As a number of police officers placed him in handcuffs, Ben Fitton began to shout. He was being arrested after allegedly slashing his sister’s tyres in Wales.
The arrest would lead to a lengthy interview regarding some of the most controlling abuse of his ex-partner, ever seen by a detective within Greater Manchester.
The first of the footage shows Fitton being arrested. An officer asked if he had anything on him and he loudly replied: “Why would I have anything on me?”
He then began shouting: “Are you really doing this to me? Are you seriously doing this?!”
Then, in several clips of the interview with Fitton and Detective Constable Russ Clarke, Fitton could be seen staring ahead with a blue blanket wrapped around him as he answers questions.
