THIS is the heartbreaking selfie a student took just days before she took her own life after suffering abuse at the hands of her boyfriend.
Emily Drouet, 18, from Glasgow, was found dead at her halls at Aberdeen University on March 18 last year – following weeks of furious rows with brute Angus Milligan, 21.
The law student took the selfie and sent it to an old school friend to record what had happened.
Milligan, 21, pleaded guilty last Tuesday to three charges of assaulting Emily in the months leading up to her death.
Emily’s distraught family released the image to show their daughter’s shocking transformation from a promising student to a bullied teenager.
They believe Milligan groomed Emily into a twisted sexual relationship, controlling her with violence and threats.
Her mum Fiona, 45, told us: “If she had never met Angus Milligan, she would be alive today.
“Emily was naive, she was innocent. She saw the world through good eyes. She was fun-loving, kind and smart and she never saw how beautiful she was, on the inside or the outside. She was a virgin when she went to university and I’m proud to say that.
“Within six months, that man destroyed our daughter and wrecked our lives. He’s just complete evil.”

She admitted she still breaks down when she looks at the tragic image, which she says she saw only after her daughter’s death.
She said: “I want to jump inside the picture and cuddle her. I want to tell her that she could have spoken to me, that she could have asked for help. We would have been there.”
Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard that Emily started dating Milligan while studying in the city.

They split after she cheated on him and Milligan attacked her in her flat on March 10 last year.
The pair got together again but Milligan dumped her on March 16 after another row.
Milligan confessed in court to choking Emily, from Glasgow, and sending her texts branding her a “slut”, “w***e”, “c****, “b***h” and “freak”.
Emily’s mum Fiona and her husband Germain have called for him to be locked up.
They also believe the university could have done more to prevent their daughter’s death.
Fiona said: “He admitted relentlessly abusing Emily emotionally, verbally and physically until she could take no more. Angus Milligan stole Emily’s future.
“That’s why we hope the court will impose a custodial sentence sending a strong message that society won’t tolerate such evil.”
Milligan is due to be sentenced on July 5.
