Six women in Northern Ireland have been murdered since 2015 despite previously reporting their violent partners to the police.
She had reported Phair three times before she was murdered and she had taken out a non-molestation order against him.Connie Leonard was stabbed to death in front of her son The Police Service of Northern Ireland , which released the figures to the BBC following a freedom of information request, said it would welcome more protection in law for victims of domestic abuse.
"Police would welcome any further legislation that would support victims of domestic abuse and would seek to bring offenders to justice.".She added: "The PSNI is here to help victims of domestic abuse and we do have enhanced support services in place".Sonya McMullan from Woman's Aid Northern Ireland said police need "more robust powers" in relation to domestic abuse.
If the police weren't overun with false accusers they may have given these cases more attention.
This is absolutely shocking. It is a complete failure of society & the authorities in their duty to protect these vulnerable women. It takes great courage to come forward & report these monsters. Clearly nowhere near enough is being done to protect women in these circumstances.

30 women were killed by their partners in August 2019 in South Africa. 💔
Probably the same copper
😥 women need protection in these situations
Absolute disgrace.
The police should take care of the women who had reported that their partners violated them. This is the case that can provide a clear idea about what should be done after some people declare that they are violated so that people have the encouragement to declare to the police
These poor women, completely let down by the authorities. Shameful. I hope their partners never get released!
Something perhaps for AmnestyIreland to think about? As violence against women is a far more urgent problem than correct pronouns? And Amnesty wish to disenfranchise those who support single sex spaces
And this is why it’s SO difficult for many to speak out. If only the violent partner could be locked up immediately and the key thrown away for ever 😡DomesticAbuse
