A man has been charged with killing his former partner Georgina Ward, after she took her own life, in Dudley in 2020. Daniel Birtwistle has been charged with manslaughter, two counts of controlling and coercive behaviour and three counts of assault.

He has also been charged with a further six counts of assault and one count of controlling and coercive behaviour in relation to another three women.
The family said their lives had been "changed irrevocably" by the death of someone who was "beautiful, inside and out".

A huge milestone and a true example of what can be achieved by working collaboratively. The development of national standards will help to support the model and the prevention of domestic abuse related deaths. Thank you to all who have helped get to this point.

[ScotGov Justice @ScotGovJustice]

A Bill to help prevent domestic abuse-related homicides & suicides has been passed by @ScotParl.

The Criminal Justice Modernisation & Abusive Domestic Behaviour Reviews Bill will introduce a review process when such deaths occur so lessons are learned.

"The Shocking Rise of Women Dying by Suicide After Domestic Abuse".
'According to @RefugeCharity, an estimated three women a week die by suicide following domestic abuse, with appalling figures showing that the number of victims taking their own lives has now overtaken those being killed by their tormentors. Closer Magazine investigates these shocking figures and talks to campaigner Phyllis Dale, who lost her daughter Jessica in 2022...'

An inspiring couple of days in Edinburgh with Scottish Government. Yesterday chairing the first meeting of Scotland’s Domestic Abuse Related Suicide Reviews Group, with amazing Depute Chair @sarahdangar and today looking into the finer detail of DA Homicide and Suicide Review processes with global experts.
