Statutory domestic homicide review under section 9 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. Source: Home Office DHR Library.
The review found the homicide was not predictable or preventable. Key concerns relate to the need for general practice to routinely inquire about the impact of anger management issues on families and to embed domestic violence enquiries.
