Jealous Ex Goes Berserk, Forces Baby Mum to Flee onto Roof
Jerome Gibson, 23, launched a violent attack that terrified his ex and her baby, smashing down her door with a shovel. The rampage left the woman scrambling onto her rooftop for safety, clutching her child as Gibson grabbed a kitchen knife inside her Langwith Junction home.
Control Freak’s Reign of Terror
In court, the victim revealed Gibson’s relentless abuse. He controlled her every move—dictating what she wore, assaulting her, and bombarding her with sexually explicit messages. The torment ended in a terrifying home invasion on 8 May 2024.
Roof-Top Escape and Knife Wielding Madness
Gibson forced his way in and fought with the woman’s friend upstairs. The pair fled to an extension roof holding the baby tight. Her friend bravely jumped down to fetch help as Gibson ran off, ditching the knife in the garden.
