“A series of seven blue and black plaques have been fixed to properties where women have been murdered by a man, as part of a campaign to highlight “outdated and misogynistic” UK domestic homicide sentencing laws.”

“Each bespoke plaque includes the woman’s name, their lifespan and the words “killed here”, along with the sentence given to the killer and the words ‘“Murder is murder, change the law”.
The campaign is by Killed Women, a network for bereaved families whose daughters, mothers, sisters or other relatives have been killed by men. It is calling for the government to honour the previous Conservative administration’s commitment to change the law.”

As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic.
The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma.
Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now.
We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives.
