The police have been accused of missing a vital opportunity to protect Harshita Brella, a young woman who was previously a victim of domestic violence. She was found dead in a car boot, raising serious concerns about police response moments before her tragic end.
An international manhunt is underway for Pankaj Lamba, Ms. Brella's husband and main suspect in her murder. Northamptonshire Police face scrutiny over their handling of the domestic violence protection orders issued to Brella.
Critics of the Domestic Violence Protection Orders argue that the limited duration of such legal measures fails to provide adequate safety for women like Ms. Brella, who may still be at risk even after an order expires.
The Independent emphasizes the necessity of quality journalism in covering critical social issues, including domestic violence, while also advocating for funding to continue on-ground reporting without paywalls, making insights accessible to all.
