The murders of two women were examined - both were killed by a man who then took his own lifeA review of cases has found "chances to intervene were missed" by authorities before the murders of two women in Northern Ireland.They were published by the Department of Justice and were conducted to help learn lessons.In order to protect their identities, they were given the names Ellen and Amy and details such as when, where and how they died have been withheld.
It went on to add: "This presented difficulties in fully understanding and addressing the safeguarding needs of Ellen.Amy was murdered by her partner - "a known domestic abuser" - with whom she had been in a relationship for a year."The threat of harm he posed pre-existed their relationship and chances to intervene were missed."
The reviews were overseen by an independent chairperson and involved the input of Women's Aid and Health and Social Care Trusts, amongst others.Domestic homicide reviews were introduced in Northern Ireland two years ago.
