00:00Anti-police say a 39-year-old man arrested over the weekend in Alice Springs over the
00:07death of a woman was her partner.
00:10The 41-year-old mother was found dead outside her home here behind me in Breitling when
00:16emergency services arrived at the scene at 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
00:21It's alleged her 39-year-old partner attacked her throughout the night, leading to her death.
00:27Investigations are continuing and police say while there were people around, there
00:30are no first-hand witnesses yet.
00:33Less than a month ago, a 51-year-old woman and well-known artist was found dead at the
00:38Todd River in town, making this the second suspected DV-related killing in the town
00:43this year.
00:44And advocates are saying the community is in shock and are demanding the NT government
00:49talk to services here to address what the sector has called entirely preventable deaths.
00:56Talk with us rather than against us.
00:58Allocate the $180 million that was seen and identified as the minimum response to domestic
01:05and family violence.
01:07Help us to help the women in our community to prevent these deaths.
01:13The NT chief minister has responded to questions around the alleged killing by saying that
01:18the $36 million that the government earlier this month announced from the promised election
01:24of $108 million going towards youth prevention programs is addressing the issue.
01:30She also says that the government's tough on crime laws will go some ways to address
01:35this unfolding crisis.
