The Metropolitan Police says it’s “extremely sorry” for failures in protecting two domestic murder victims from harm.
Two Black vulnerable women, Naomi Hunte and Fiona Holm, were killed 17 months apart within a few miles of each other in South London.He was described in court as callous, controlling and abusive.
Cooper was the prime murder suspect for Naomi Hunte, who was found stabbed to death in her home in South London in February 2022. The family say the fact she was Black played a part in the police decision not to treat her mother’s allegations seriously. Naomi Hunte was Cooper’s first victim. She too had reported him to police for domestic violence, not once, but four times within a year.She told police that he was constantly “coming to my house”, “ringing off my phone”, “kicked the door” and “stalking me”.
