'Our daughters were stabbed to death by their exes - new laws aren't enough'

A pair of mothers whose daughters were murdered by their ex-partners say new coercive control laws aren't enough - and argue that all killers who use force should face at least 25 years in prison.

Carole Gould's daughter, Ellie, 17, was stabbed to death by her ex Thomas Griffiths, then 17, in May 2019. He was jailed for a minimum of 12-and-a-half years.

Julie Devey's daughter, Poppy Devey Waterhouse, 24, was stabbed 23 times in the head and neck by her ex-boyfriend, Joe Atkinson, then 25, in December 2018.
