There were some quieter days at number 51 Manley Street for a long time after that. Rylatt had a long spell in prison. But, as with so many of these domestic brutality cases, history loses track of the participants in the drama, and only rarely is the final outcome of such cruel relationships ever known. We have to hope that William Rylatt either changed his ways or changed his address and left the woman he had tortured for so long with a new life – a peaceful one.
