'I keep telling the police, he WILL kill me'
Available for over a year
A anonymous woman fears she could be killed by her ex-partner if the police don't act. The woman was granted a restraining order against her ex-partner last year. It followed a trial at which he was found guilty of harassing her husband and given a suspended jail sentence. The restraining order bans him from contacting her - or her husband - under almost all circumstances. But she says he's routinely flouting it and says Northamptonshire Police won't take action. A Northamptonshire Police spokeswoman said: 鈥淭ackling domestic abuse is a priority for Northamptonshire Police and we will do everything we can to seek a charge or positive outcome when an allegation is reported to us. On this occasion, there simply wasn鈥檛 enough evidence to prove that a breach of the order imposed had been committed and therefore no realistic chance of a prosecution. We would continue asking them to report suspected breaches to us so we can investigate.鈥 Credit: PA Media
