Identifying the subject: Should ‘who’ or ‘whom’ be used here?
As a test, split it into two sentences leaving a gap where who or whom was. "He is demanding £5,000 from the elderly woman." "___ has ruined his life". … If the missing word would be she/he, use who; if it's her/him, use whom[1].
In this case it's clearly she, therefore who.
[1] I think it works the same for plurals too: they -> who, them -> whom. …
