This is good to hear.
Emma Murphy’s video, featured on the site yesterday, detailed a litany of physical abuse at the hands of her former partner.
The mother-of-two posted the heart-wrenching video to her Facebook page where many offered her support and comfort, as well suggestions that she contact the authorities.
I thought long and hard before posting this video, this is very difficult for me but I have to do what is RIGHT, if you or anyone you know has it is in a similar situation please share this video to inspire other women around the world, violence is NOT the answer!!!!

This evening, it has become clear that Emma has made a formal statement of complaint to Gardai in Santry, Dublin, which has led to a formal criminal investigation that is now underway.
This will involve the compilation of a medical report, as well as questioning of the suspect by the Gardai.
The suspect is former Mr. Ireland and gym owner Francis Usanga, who earlier on today admitted ‘pushing’ Ms. Murphy but denied ‘punching’ her or ‘splitting her head open’ as is alleged in the video.
If you have been a victim of domestic violence you can call Women’s Aid on 1800 341 900 or the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre at 1800 77 88 88.
