An abusive thug stabbed his wife to death in front of their three-year-old daughter on the morning school run after police failed to act despite discovering he had hacked her iCloud account.
Ricardo Godinho, 41, was jailed for 27 years after murdering 39-year-old Aliny Mendes as she picked up their children in Surrey in 2019.
Ms Mendes had been living a secret safehouse at the time of the stabbing, which happened one month after the couple separated.
She had complained to Surrey Police about his abusive conduct on the day of her death - expressing concern over him accessing her iCloud account - and in the months leading up to it.
The force passed her complaint to the Metropolitan Police, who arranged to meet her the following day because she was busy that afternoon, meaning she was not seen by officers prior to her death.
An inquest in February of this year found officers failed to fully investigate Ms Mendes' reports and recognise she was at high risk of being harmed.
And this week, Senior Coroner for Surrey, Richard Travers, slammed the police force and warned there is a "continuing risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken".
He wrote in a prevention of future deaths report that Ms Mendes' death was "probably more than minimally contributed to by Surrey Police".
Mr Travers said: "In my opinion, however, there is a continuing risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken in relation to the concerns set out below. In the circumstances, it is my statutory duty to report to you."
The report highlighted the failings of the officer handling her case and that of her supervising sergeant, adding there was "no system in place" to ensure that "safeguarding and investigation plans were implemented".
Surrey Police Detective Superintendent Juliet Parker earlier admitted the force had failed in Ms Mendes' case.
She said: "Our thoughts have been with the family and friends of Aliny since her tragic death and we recognise the profound impact her death has had on all those who knew her.
"We agree there were failings on the part of Surrey Police in how her case was handled. Opportunities to safeguard Aliny were missed and for that we are deeply regretful.
"We remain committed to tackling the issue of domestic abuse and measures have already been put in place as a result of the important learning which has come out of this case."
Godinho, armed with the knife, waited in his car for Ms Mendes and pounced on a grass verge in Ewell, Surrey.
He drove off after the stabbing and was eventually found by police, who arrested him.
Witnesses told the court the thug remained "very calm and collected" during the attack in February 2019.
In a statement released after the guilty verdict, Aliny’s family said: "Aliny was a beautiful, intelligent, happy, caring woman who was loved by so many people, both in the UK, and in her home country of Brazil.
"The events of Friday, February 8, 2019, took away not only a sister, daughter, grandchild and friend, but more importantly, took a loving mother away from her four small children.
"The impact that Aliny’s death has left on her children is almost impossible to put into words.
"All four children are under the age of 12 years old and are now left with no mother, which is so hard for them to process at such a young age. It’s the small things that will have an impact on their lives growing up.
"When the children are ill their mother will not be there to soothe them, when they get good results at school their mother will not be there to praise them, when they perform in a school play, their mother will not be there to applaud them, and on birthdays, graduations, wedding days and other momentous events, their mother will not be able to share in the celebration and the joy of the occasion."
