At least 15 serving or former police have killed women in UK since 2009 – report
The Guardian says women have been killed by at least 15 serving or former police officers in the UK since 2009, new figures reveal.
The majority of the women killed by former officers had been their partners, according to data from the Femicide Census first reported by the Times.
Other cases shown in the data, which tracks the killings of women by men in the UK, were a killing for financial gain and another where a former police officer smothered his mother.
The murder of Sarah Everard by Wayne Couzens, who was a Metropolitan police officer, had seen a renewed focus on attacks on women involving the police.
