The families of two women murdered in their own homes have called for more support that could save the lives of those trapped in domestic violence.
Jason Poole, whose sister Jennie was murdered by ex-boyfriend Gavin Murphy in 2021, believes a domestic violence register is needed urgently to protect women. And Kashief Ahmed, a nephew of Seema Banu who was strangled to death along with her daughter and son by husband Sameer Syed in 2020, said more needs to be done to help victims.
They spoke to the Irish Mirror as they backed our Stop The Violence campaign to highlight the link between domestic violence and the rising rates of female killings.
