Sharon Holland emphasized that victims of domestic abuse are increasingly driven to suicide, stating, 'If there's more suicides than killings now, why isn't more being done?' This underlines an urgent call for accountability.
Statistics reveal a troubling trend in England and Wales, with 93 individuals suspected to have taken their lives after abuse within a year, surpassing the 80 killed by current or former partners.
The abuse Chloe Holland faced was described as 'one of the most appalling and heartbreaking' cases by police, illustrating the severe psychological impact domestic violence can have.
Under current legal circumstances, perpetrators of domestic abuse linked to suicides often evade justice, as highlighted by the fact that they are rarely charged when a victim dies.
