Chiltern review
CSP: ChilternPublished: July 2023Year of death: 2016Extracted: 5 recs
Statutory domestic homicide review under section 9 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. Source: Home Office DHR Library.
The report identifies missed opportunities by the GP to identify the victim's vulnerabilities and coercive control. It also highlights the narrow definition of domestic abuse for extended family and the potential for modern slavery/debt bondage in the victim's living situation.

Addressed to
Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group
To share learning from this review in respect to how GPs should be careful not to consider their own values and beliefs in relation to identification of risk.
HM Government to review and consider extending the description of “family” domestic abuse in the Draft Domestic Abuse Bill 2018, to cover those living in the same household as per the requirements to undertake a domestic homicide review.
Addressed to
Home Office | Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA)
The Home Office’s preferred support agency for families of domestic homicides, Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) should be recommended by the Home Office Domestic Homicide Review Quality Assurance Panel, to amend their leaflet to cover suicide or to add an additional leaflet. The current leaflet only refers to homicide and, whilst the service say they will help with Suicide Reviews, the leaflets are not appropriate for this at present.
