00:00My whole life's changed. It will never go back to the same as it was before.
00:05It's just not the same anymore.
00:07Losing your child is just... you just can't go back from that.
00:12So in every case of the families that I met today,
00:17and in every case of any family I've ever met
00:20where somebody died by suicide with a history of domestic abuse,
00:25it wasn't the first cry for help.
00:27It identifies for us how much more we need to do,
00:30but not just in policing, in wider society and with other organisations,
00:35because in many of those cases,
00:38the risk factors were not only coercive controlling behaviour,
00:42they were mental ill health, they were drug and alcohol addiction.
