Good morning. The first was Keotshepile Naso Isaacs, a 33-year-old mother of three said by friends to be a “beautiful soul”, who was found dead at a property in North Berwick, Scotland on New Year’s Day. Since then, in a project called Killed Women Count, the Guardian has been tracking cases this year in which a woman has been killed and a man charged with her murder.
The most recent is Courtney Mitchell, a 26-year-old with three children who was described as “courageous and full of spirit”, found with stab wounds to her chest at an address in Ipswich. Her death brings the count this year to 50. In recent years, a woman has been killed by a man in the UK every three days.
