I can’t actually believe this has happened. I met Roann years ago not that long after her mum was murdered. Reading a summary of the story in a news report doesn’t come close to the reality. I thought this govt were serious about MVAWG www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

This is good news. Unbelievable that a stalker’s ID could be kept from the victim in the first place. However it doesn’t address the major issue of the police not investigating these crimes properly or at all.

A known dangerous repeat offender. They need to be on a register. All new partners warned through Clare’s Law. This was an 8 stages homicide.
