Details

Domestic homicide reviews are done when the death of a person aged 16 or over has, or appears to have, resulted from violence, abuse or neglect by:

• a relative
• a spouse, partner or ex-partner
• a member of the same household

They are not about who is culpable. They are to:

• help identify lessons we can learn from the death
• prevent further domestic abuse
• improve services for victims of domestic abuse

These documents analyse domestic homicide reviews and summarise their recommendations.
