Labour pledges 'Raneem's Law'

THE police response to domestic violence must be overhauled to ensure there are 'no more missed opportunities' to save women's lives, the Labour Party has said.

- 

Yesterday, the party promised to introduce 'Raneem's Law,' named after Raneem Oudeh, to transform the way the police handle cases of violence against women and girls.

Ms Oudeh, 22, and her mother, 49-year-old Khaola Saleem, were murdered by Ms Oudeh's ex-partner, Janbaz Tarin, in 2018.

Four years later, an inquest into their deaths found mistakes made by West Midlands Police had 'materially contributed' to their deaths.
