Police report

ThisOchreLemur · 30/06/2024 16:26

I did report an email received from ex partner to the police. Has been a week and I did not receive my statement or an update about the investigation. I did emailed the police officer two times but they did not answer. I know police is very busy with more serious crimes but since receiving this email I do worry about my safety and I do not want to see my ex partner.
What can I do?
Thank you

Here is the email: "Dear ThisOchreLemur,

As a Mother I completely respect you. As an individual, I consider you dangerous.

One day, Karma was WILL catch up with you. One day the metaphorical ’silver bullet’ that you use WILL find you.

This, you will never escape. Good luck.

Regards,
ThisOchreLemur ex partner. "

It isn't a crime to email someone unless a non molestation order has been served.

I think the concern is the thinly veiled death threat within the email

There won't be any investigation, as you quite rightly say, the Police have more serious crimes to deal with so are not going to waste time on a single email.

Block your ex so he can't send anything else.

This isn't a crime. Block him and move on.

Make sure you report it to the police, even if it isn’t investigated it builds up a case for you in case anything escalates. I am so sorry that you are going through this. Have you gone through any of the organisations like Women’s Aid for support?

I can't, we have a child.

but he has threatened me and he always insult me on emails plus making malicious reports to ss and police. I'm fed up after so many years.

is not just an email, it's an email with a threat on it.

It's most likely been recorded & filed. You will prob get a letter or email - where I am that should be within 28 days but is sometimes longer. You can call 101 & ask for an update. You can also contact victim support (101 can give you details or refer you)

It doesn't look like a crime has been committed. He's being pretty nasty & I can understand why you are upset & feel threatened but not sure there's anything the police can do - he hasn't actually threatened you (in that email)

You will be better off contacting domestic violence services who will be able to support you to keep a record of the behaviour & advise you what can be done.

Well that's slightly different, you didnt mention that in your OP did you, you mentioned one single email. Anyway, you have more than one thread running for this so I'm gonna leave this one, you've got more replies on your other one.

You can get a domestic abuse marker on your address for priority response.
I had this when my (adopted, very damaged) DDs were attacking me and damaging the house several years ago.
I reported DD1 for threatening to kill me earlier this year and it was reinstated.

Pinkbonbon · 30/06/2024 22:42

Tbh 'karma will get you' is not a threat.

You've given them nothing to take further.

If there are actually messages with a tual threats then that's different. But this email...it's not remotely criminal.
