Call reporting murder by violent abuser marked as hoax by police Two women killed by the same man reported him to the police before he murdered them.

The BBC covers the terrible reality that lies at the centre of our Double Injustice campaign: two women, Fiona Holm and Naomi Hunte, reported violence from the same man to the police & both ended up being killed by him.

Today, we launch a new campaign: Double Injustice.
Naomi Hunte and Fiona Holm were killed by the same violent partner. On both occasions, the police knew about risks to their lives but did not take any effective action, and both times the result was the woman’s death.

Both deaths were preventable.
