Sabina Nessa: The Deafening Silence

Beautiful young women victims get a lot of coverage. I don't believe a fat, ugly young woman would get much coverage, and there would probably be online abuse.

It's on CNN today - so it's international news.

They don't care if you over 40. You just a worthless piece of shit to them. There's also no specialist support for older women victims of domestic violence. No understanding of different needs stage of life. They don't care if older women or middle aged is murdered.

I have noticed that older women get very little coverage, if any

There was a serial attacker who targeted men over 55 in my area over a short period of time - two died of their injuries. It was barely reported other than in the local newspaper. The lack of interest was horribly apparent.

I can’t comment on reporting of black/Asian versus white as I don’t feel informed enough about it.

I only noticed this awful story a couple of days ago, but that could be because of reporting restrictions? Or because they already had found her, so the family may have needed time to process it? It can’t really compare with the Sarah everard case due to her being missing for several days, so there was still some hope initially, and her friends were actively seeking publicity.

I have noticed that older women get very little coverage, if any, as if they don’t matter at all. It’s quite shocking actually when you think about it. To think we haven’t got a clue of the scale that this is happening at and are utterly powerless to do anything about it.

@genericuserneeded it's a new suspect - the man in his 40s arrested the other day has been released.
They're also looking for another man and a silver car

since jack the ripper, it's nothing new

Seems a lot of people here deliberately trying to cause racial tension pretending her murder has been kept in the dark because she's not white, when truth is its been headline news and front page media all over the UK...sad people

People think anyone gives a shit about London women being murdered is wrong. Domestic abuse support in London is shit. Example is Victim Support is 2 month wait. So women have more violence and maybe get murdered cos waiting months for help.

Be vigils nearly everyday if people cared really cared about women being murdered cos women murdered nearly everyday but they don't matter to most people cos older or domestic violence or both. Cheap to do vigils and be outraged on media but costs money to really help women and stop them being murdered and no enough people really care about stopping women being murdered.

People saying about women not safe on streets but is rubbish cos most women murdered at home and it's so many several a week and then more cos of the suicides caused by domestic violence and early death cos of bad health caused by it.

Safe homes and good domestic violence support no postcode lottery is what needed more than safe streets cos streets are safer for women than homes but people don't really give a shit.

I’ve been seeing this terrible murder reported on my news feed for days; where is everyone else looking for their news if not the headlines?!?

There have been lots of murders since Sarah Everard. Those are a few I can remember, some local to me, I’m certain there have been many more I can’t recall or have not heard about. I didn’t see any vigils for anyone but Sarah Everard and now, Sabina Nessa.

Perhaps it is to do with their youth and beauty?

I hope her family and school are getting the support they need. Year one are only just aware that death is permanent. The newspapers may be keeping that in mind (I hope) on how and what they report it.
Unfortunately some cases do become engraved on the public consciousness for various reasons. It can't be helpful to healing if your loved one's murder is always dragged up as a comparison.

We can only hope that past mistakes seen in previous cases have led to this swift arrest and hopefully the criminal will be dealt with severely.

Just because you think it's race baiting doesn't mean it is, many studies have shown the murders of black and Asian women are under reported in the media, how is this race baiting?

I didn't say that was race baiting. I said the op and this thread was. But don't expect you to understand the nuance

And the OP is not not lying, she said it hasn't been widely reported on social media and news, which it hasn't, if it had been I would have heard of it, people I know would have heard of it and the many people who are commenting on this young womans death online would have heard of it much earlier. It's nice that it popped up on the radar of a few of the commenters on here but clearly many people hadn't heard of it because it hasn't been publicised.

It was on all the main news channels on Monday. In the papers on Monday. On the lunchtime and evening news Monday.

Very interesting you come into this thread just like many other women and immediately mention race baiting as if we all don't know the media isn't actively racist. It massively minimises the struggles that black and Asian women go through.

Nope didn't say anything of the sort. I have said on several threads that race will be a factor but not the main factor.

And giving the op is making shit up, I stand by my opinion Op is race baiting. Is that was mn is, people expressing an opinion? Where did I say, because I think its race baiting, everyone has to agree?

Where did I say WoC don't face these issues. Where did I say the media and or police are not biased when it comes to race? That's right, I didn't.

I can also see your past posting history and you've gone into other threads and gone on about race baiting, which leads me to believe you're probably not Asian. Anyone can be anyone online and I refuse to believe an Asian woman could be so heartless towards the death of another Asian woman.

I have been on 2 threads. Just 2 about Sabina and its clear neither rop can even be bothered looking into any detail about her. Posting on 2 threads is 'going on'.

Believing that some posters are using her death, to appear virtuous and show how woke they are or to start a bun fight, is heartless towards Sabina?

Non of its aimed at Sabina, its looking looking the behaviour of some mners who will say anything for some attention.

I believe they are using the death of an Asian woman for their own ends.

If you read my posting history you would see, I have said over and over again the race will be playing a part. Not sure how more clear I can be.

Again, denying someones ethnicity because they don't agree with you, is racist. Saying I have said things I haven't even said, is ridiculous and just shows you have no clue how to form a discussion.

I don't deal with racists. So won't be responding to you further.

Breaking news that a 38 year old man has been arrested for her murder.

OP, I agree not seen anything about this until I saw Sabina trending on twitter this morning and I live in London! But I can already see this thread descending into nonsense. I don't think there's much point in discussing race on Mumsnet, it goes absolutely nowhere.

Better off discussing grammar schools and JK Rowling

How does the police spokesman ‘know’ it’s safe - a supposed stranger (not sure how they know they were a stranger) has murdered a young woman. They don’t know who or why. So how do they know that they aren’t about to do it again?

Heard it days ago on the BBC.

I was disappointed that police spokesman today basically said it’s safe and police here for the community. I know if they say it’s not safe, stay in women it looks bad but the streets are not safe. Certainly not when killer is freely walking around. For Every women who says I’m not walking through dark park there is one thinking we’ll police said it’s safe. Really not way to do it.

Here to support the posters saying it has been on the news for days. I'm not sure why other pp's don't believe you.

I'm so angry and saddened that yet another woman has lost her life to male violence.
