CSP: EalingPublished: June 2026Year of death: 2022Extracted: 4 recs
Statutory domestic homicide review under section 9 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. Source: Home Office DHR Library.
The review highlights a lack of agency contact and the victim's unawareness of coercive control, particularly suicidal threats, as domestic abuse. It identifies a gap in public and professional understanding of risks during relationship separation and the need for improved training on coercive control indicators.
