Warning: Contains distressing details

She told BBC News NI her boyfriend has a severe traumatic brain injury.

“He actually has one of the worst head injuries that the top neurosurgeons and doctors in the Royal had ever seen,” she said.

“He’s left without half of his skull and he has life-changing injuries that are going to affect him for the rest of his life,” she added.

“Can you imagine seeing man of his build who has always been strong and capable of doing anything he has put his mind to laying in a bed having to be peg fed (using a feeding tube) because he can’t swallow and is not able to walk, he can’t talk, he can’t do anything, he can’t even breathe for himself.

“You are seeing a man that’s so strong and provides you with safety and comfort laying in such a vulnerable position.”

She wants people to think about how they would feel in this situation if it was one of their loved ones.

“Somebody, somewhere knows something,” she said.

She urged anyone with any information to consider sharing it.
