I was strong enough to not ever get back into the cycle again,' Ms Rowe told police. 'Every time I tried, he would pull be back down, I had no strength left and felt completely isolated from those I loved... I was embarrassed.' Some of it was (the victim)".' It was the night police claim Lovett allegedly erased what he believed to be all of the photographs his partner had taken of her bruises from him over the years. And on Anzac Day itself, the court heard Lovett made Ms Rowe buy all of his beers at the Anzac Day clash despite her being on the job. In May, the court heard she cracked the windscreen of her car as she tried to escape Lovett's clutches - as he allegedly spat in her face while throttling her. In January last year, Lovett cracked his partner in the face with a shoe before later taking her car to drive to a bender with mates in trendy Brighton. On the day before Anzac Day last year, a drunk Lovett is accused of spitting in his partner's face, dousing her yet again in beer and kicking her while on the ground. In reality, the court heard Ms Rowe had been forced to defend herself with the knife after Lovett attacked her as she was getting out of the shower. After a night on the grog, the court heard Lovett spent a night in Ms Rowe's backyard curled up under a BBQ cover when she locked him out of her house. The court heard Lovett had practically moved into Ms Rowe's house and despite his alleged hostility, and court order, she continued to allow him back into her home.
