The family of a woman who was murdered by a convicted violent offender when he was supposed to be under supervision have said she would still be alive had the police, social services and mental healthcare providers not failed her.

Sobhia Khan, 37 at the time of her death in May 2017, was subjected to “domestic violence on a savage scale” before being beaten to death by her newlywed husband, Ataul Mustafa. He was being monitored in the community as a restricted patient after earlier being sentenced to a hospital order for violent and sexual offences against a former partner.
