A woman whose partner was killed in a crossbow attack – and was herself shot while pregnant – has called for tougher laws in the wake of the murders of BBC racing commentator John Hunt’s wife and two daughters.
Laura Sugden was 20 weeks into her pregnancy when she and her boyfriend Shane Gilmer were attacked by a crossbow-wielding assailant at their family home in east Yorkshire in January 2018. Mr Gilmer, 30, was fatally wounded in the incident, with Ms Sugden, 34, still recalling the horror of him dying on their landing.
