Scotland’s justice secretary is calling for a UK summit to tackle a national failure to identify serial domestic abusers.
Humza Yousaf was reacting to demands serial attackers should be on a register and monitored like terrorists and sex offenders.

Kerr, 37, abused and viciously assaulted three women, including breaking into the home of his ex-partner Amy Clarke and strangling her until she passed out.
