Merseyside Police have sent an urgent message to domestic abuse victims after the tragic deaths of two women this week.
On Wednesday May 11, police were called to an address on Radway Road in Huyton following the tragic death of 43-year-old Lorraine Cullen. A 21-year-old man from Liverpool, who was known to Ms Cullen, was arrested on suspicion of her murder and later sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
The following day, another murder investigation was launched after police attended an address on Vittoria Close in Birkenhead to a report that a body of a woman had been found. Police have now formally named the woman as 62-year-old Karen Wheeler.
