Number of women and girls killed in Ireland doubles in a year

The number of women and girls killed in Ireland has almost doubled in a year, an Irish Mirror investigation can reveal today.

We have established 13 females were victims of homicides in 2022 – that’s an increase of six from the
year before representing a massive hike of 85%.

And with half of 2023 still to come, already six women have suffered violent deaths this year. If that grim trend continues, there are likely to be more than 10 women killed in 2023.
