She became very ill and eventually Connolly called on the police to confess after thinking she had killed her.

Dennis was rushed to the Medway Hospital in Kent and spent two days recovering, but still suffers from amnesia and insomnia.

The court asked how he took revenge after she couldn’t buy him the PlayStation game he wanted for his 28th birthday in December 2018.

Dennis, a charity shop worker from Chatham, Kent, first described her trials. “Christopher used me in the worst way possible.

“He was a lost youth-the only thing I tried to do was help him.

“His excuse that got me addicted was that I couldn’t afford him the birthday gift he wanted, but I had no money because I just moved home There was no

“He was bitter because he couldn’t get the PlayStation games I was looking for.

“His revenge was to drink my coffee. I have at least 10 cups a day because I know enough as most of my peers do.

“I was in a permanent cloudy mess for the few weeks he was taking me, worsened until I went to bed.

“He said he was there to take care of me so he didn’t have to worry.

“But he may have killed me.

“My memory is broken for the rest of my life. I have insomnia and horrific flashbacks. Tired of thinking of what he did to me. He was supposed to be my best friend.”

Denise and Connolly crossed the road first after becoming neighbors in Chatham in 2014.

Unemployed Connolly volunteered to care for Denise’s dog, a staff member called Molly, while working at a local charity shop. Training is required.

“I started giving back a little for him, I find nice shirts and jumpers from the store and bring them back for him.

Dennis just moved home and couldn’t afford the Red Dead Redemption, a PlayStation game.

She also believes that Connolly was outraged that Connolly moved in instead of moving in.

“Christopher sank for a few weeks after telling him he couldn’t afford the game,” she said.

“I thought it was ridiculous, but I didn’t get along well with my family, so I thought he wouldn’t make much money, so I was a little sorry.

“I gave him the benefit of doubt about it.

“I also invited him to the mine that Christmas that year. I refilled the fridge with all of our favorite food and let him stay in my apartment for a few days.”

On December 21, 2018, Connolly began to spike Denise coffee with a mixture of crushed painkillers, antidepressants, and tablets for anxiety and sleep disorders.

When she questioned the taste, he suggested replenishing it with “festive” Baileys-he knew it was her favorite Christmas tiple.

Over the next few weeks, he kept lacing her coffee and watched her weaken, become confused and eventually bedridden.

She said: “Every time I thought the coffee was funny or tasted a bit bitter, he would refill it with a little Bailey.

“At first it felt very festive and I started looking forward to a few weeks to relax.

“But then I started to get strange symptoms.

“When I woke up, I felt fragile. My hands were shaking, I couldn’t hold it down, and when I felt it, it got worse as the days went by.

“Christopher kept offering to give me a little coffee. My memory began to disappear. On Christmas Day I barely got out of bed, but I managed it Did.

“The rest of the week was blurry. I don’t remember the New Year at all.

“By the 2nd day I couldn’t get out of bed and couldn’t take Molly for a walk. Of course, Christopher offered to help.

“I am so grateful to have such a good friend. I really thought he was taking care of me.”

On January 3, 2019, Connolly visited Dennis to walk Molly and left the flat around 8pm.

Next, Connolly used a local payphone to ring 999-tell the operator that he thought he “murdered” a friend.

Police arrested him and went to Dennis’s house where he had to wake her up from a “sleepy” state.

During her hospital stay, her urine sample contained 11 drugs, 8 of which were not prescribed to her.

Doctors said the cocktail put her at risk of “serious adverse effects and death.”

On October 10, 2019, Connolly admitted to appearing in front of the Maidstone Crown Court and deliberately attempted to cause serious physical harm-he was later imprisoned for four years.

Advocate Charles Langley told the court that Connolly has a real belief that Ms. Smith was left to feel that he “dominated” him and that he was “at the edge of a cliff.”

Previously unbelievable, Connolly was also said to suffer from emotionally unstable personality disorder and autism.

Dennis said: “At first, I didn’t believe what the police told me.

“I couldn’t believe that Christopher would do it for me.

“I was really sad about our friendship and was quite angry.

“I am still suffering from the adverse effects of the drugs he was giving me.

“When I heard the police told him he did because he couldn’t get the game on his birthday, I couldn’t believe it, outside before you knew it.

“I’m really scared of what was going on. He might come back and end me.”
