This is shocking...man who has killed three partners

[QuentinSummers]

I heard it on the news and though he had been caught for one murder and admitted two more
But no. He killed his first wife in 1981 and served time for manslaughter.
Second wife was killed in 1993 and again he served time for manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
He killed his latest partner, Angela, in 2016 and has finally been convicted of murder.

Why was nothing done to protect women from this monster? It says he was stalking her. Why wasn't she protected from him?

I'm so distressed by this. Men are up in arms about "false accusations ruining lives" and meanwhile men like this are out there killing women.

Do we think that an extension to the sexual offenders register would be of use? an official label that this man is not safe in relationships

I definitely think this would be of use and very doable. It is already done for sex offenders.

Shameful. Those poor women.

This is a CPS issue as well as a police issue. They should have been fighting for a longer sentence (but I imagine attitudes in 1981 and 1993 were even more blinkered than they are today).

There was a problem (which they tried to address with a change in the law around the partial defence to murder of "provocation") that cases weren't even put forward for murder 15 to 20 years ago when the wife had threatened to leave as they felt a jury wouldn't convict anything more than manslaughter. That was the case with this awful incident: www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/bloodbath-as-lawyer-stabbed-wife-to-death-1-2433676/amp
