It wasn\u2019t until their daughter Aaliyah, just six years old, stood up to him that Hannah finally decided to break free.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, her attempt to escape would end in tragedy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-darkness-begins\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The darkness begins<\/h2>\n<p>Hannah Clarke was only 19 when she met Rowan in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>He was more than a decade older \u2014 and still living with his first wife. Although Rowan told Hannah they were separated, that was a lie. The couple married in 2012, while Hannah was pregnant with their first child, and later opened a gym together. When the business struggled, Hannah\u2019s parents had to step in financially.<\/p>\n<p>As time went on, Rowan\u2019s behavior followed the familiar cycle of coercive control.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_oVyyFz73Y\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=640&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fmodishtips.com&amp;rp=%2Farchives%2F16589#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2127.199999988079%7D\" height=\"1106\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He dictated what Hannah wore, punished her for jokes at work, and isolated her from friends and family. Rowan\u2019s control over Hannah extended to nearly every aspect of her life. According to Hannah\u2019s parents, he would refer to women as \u201cfat pigs\u201d and even banned his wife from wearing shorts or the color pink.<\/p>\n<p>On social media, though, Hannah painted a very different picture. For their fourth anniversary in 2016, she called Rowan her \u201cbest friend\u201d and hashtagged the post \u201ctrue love.\u201d He replied by describing her as his \u201cpartner in crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-behind-the-smile\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Behind the smile<\/h2>\n<p>Behind the smiles, Rowan demanded sex constantly, giving Hannah the silent treatment for days if she ever refused.

And Trey was frantic. His eyes were bulging in his head with fear,\u201d Brooks told the inquest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd he thought that was funny enough to post.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The impact on their children \u2014 Aaliyah, six, Laianah, four, and Trey, three \u2014 convinced Hannah she had to leave.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-aaliyah-s-courage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aaliyah\u2019s Courage<\/h2>\n<p>Aaliyah, born in 2013, was the only one in the household who dared to challenge Rowan. A school friend\u2019s mother, Varvara Meli, later described one incident that became a turning point.<\/p>\n<p>When Rowan came to collect Aaliyah from school, the little girl became upset and asked to use a phone to call her mom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe had opened up to my girls during the day that she wasn\u2019t looking forward to the afternoon,\u201d Varvara said. \u201cI didn\u2019t ask, I just gave her the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-1\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIPY2E4JSSi\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=640&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fmodishtips.com&amp;rp=%2Farchives%2F16589#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A2128.599999964237%7D\" height=\"1024\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On the call, Aaliyah reassured Hannah she was okay.<\/p>\n<p>But Hannah later admitted to a witness that Rowan was \u201chorrible\u201d to their daughter because she \u201cstood up to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With that, Hannah finally left Rowan. She and the children moved in with her parents, and she secured a protective order while staying in contact with police about his threats. Rowan, however, refused to give up control.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-day-of-the-attack\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The day of the attack<\/h2>\n<p>On February 19, 2020, Hannah began the morning with coffee and conversation with her mother, while her daughters played and her son watched TV.

Terrified, Hannah pulled the car over near a neighbor who was washing his vehicle. \u201cCall the police, he\u2019s going to kill me. He\u2019s poured petrol on me,\u201d she cried out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1230731796775460874&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fmodishtips.com%2Farchives%2F16589&amp;sessionId=e51076da8a7bfbed85f868b1654987ce73f11168&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1230731796775460874\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Within seconds, the car exploded into flames.

Hannah, in unimaginable pain, told those around her exactly what had happened and begged them to save her children.
