To wonder how bad someone needs to be before the police will do something

I've not seen anything in this, apols if it's already been done:

Robert Trigg has been jailed finally for murdering two partners because their parents paid for someone to investigate. This man had a long history of domestic violence towards the women he killed and other partners too. How can the police have thought both deaths were natural/ misadventure? Those poor women and their poor families. He was practically wearing a t shirt saying 'I did it!', how on earth did he get away with it for so long?!

I imagine he's charming.

My exH was a nasty piece of shit but so charming when it suited him.

Always got his own way with everyone. Even my parents sided with him after our split.

thank god for the parents of the second victim...their sorrow must be vast but at least they got justice for their daughter

If he'd been on midsomer murders he'd have been practically walking himself into the station. I'm so tired of women dying because the police don't take them seriously wrt domestic violence or stalking. And he nearly got away with murder twice so I very much hope they've checked everyone he's been a partner of is still alive.

I do think police (and society in general) just don't take male domestic violence against women seriously enough.

The parents shouldn't have had to pay for someone to investigate a death. Really, you'd think the police would at least be startled into action by a suspicion of murder.

It is disgusting.

Police need to learn that no, a woman is not a man's property, ever, and that a man hitting the woman he is in a romantic relationship with is worse not better than his being violent towards random strangers on the street.

The Police have learnt from cases like these and have massively improved from where they were 14 years ago.

Not saying there is not room for further improvement but giant leaps have been made.
