The last time Anastasia Kuzyk kicked her on-again-off-again boyfriend Basil Borutski out of her Wilno, Ont., home, she told an OPP officer: “I thought he was honestly going to kill me. I could see the switch go off in his eyes.”

It was midnight on Jan. 22, 2014, and Kuzyk had thrown him out after an argument. She locked the door and went to bed.

But Borutski returned in the morning and busted down the door. Borutski started collecting some of his items and took some of her things too, including her cell phone. And on the way out, Borutski helped himself to her mother’s 2004 red Chevrolet Aveo.

When the OPP arrived about the stolen car report, Kuzyk told an officer that Borutski had viciously attacked her on Dec. 30, 2013, after she refused to have sex with him.

“He beat me up, hit me over and over again, held me down, was choking me. I thought he was going to rape me, but he didn’t,” Kuzyk said in a Jan. 23, 2014, statement to police.
