Good morning. Last year, research found that in the UK suicides following domestic abuse outnumbered homicides by partners for the second year in a row. These deaths reverberate. They leave a mark on the responding officers first called to the scene, the grieving families and the community that rally around afterwards.
They also have potential ramifications. If victims are being pushed to suicide as a result of domestic abuse, alleged perpetrators could go on causing harm if not held accountable.
