In the UK, domestic abuse has claimed over 1,000 lives in four years, with an average of five victims killed weekly. Most victims were killed by partners or family members, and nearly 70% of killers were known to the police. Suicide among victims due to abuse has surpassed deaths by intimate partners for two years. UK police plan to charge more abusers with manslaughter if their victims commit suicide, aiming to prevent future deaths and improve information-sharing.
