Richard Scatchard aka Richard Dunlop, a serial sex offender, moved towns and changed his name.
He went on to meet Kelly Faier's, on a dating app in 2022, before brutally killing her in 2023.
@andyburnham How many more innocent victims must there be, before your government acts

Case law: Family court judgment worth reading carefully: Re CX (No. 2) [2026] EWFC 230 (Mr Justice Garrido).
A six-year-old girl had a positive, supervised relationship with her father after findings of extreme emotional and psychological abuse of her mother. The court has now ordered no direct or indirect contact.
Why? Expert evidence established that the mother has Complex PTSD driven by the abuse. Any ongoing contact arrangements act as repeated triggers that block the stabilisation and trauma-focused treatment she needs. Without recovery, her capacity to parent is at real risk of collapse — with catastrophic consequences for the child who depends on her as primary carer.
The judge did not undervalue the father–daughter bond or the emotional harm the child will experience from the loss of contact. He treated both harms seriously. Faced with two imperfect options, he chose the one that gives the best chance of two healthier parents in the medium and long term, with the possibility of more natural contact later.
This is not “contact at all costs.” It is a clear application of the welfare checklist and PD12J: contact must be safe for the child and the parent with care. Exceptional, carefully reasoned, and focused on the child’s actual long-term needs.
CX, Re (No. 2) (Domestic abuse: No contact) [2026] EWFC 230: Application by M to stop all contact with child by F, who had previously been found to have subjected the mother to extreme emotional and psychological abuse. Ordered that all contact cease. bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/HCJ…

Lone workers often face greater risks of violence, harassment, and aggression. Whether it’s working late, off-site, or in isolated roles, no one should ever feel unsafe at work.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

This convicted stalker grabbed her hair, almost sat on her and absolutely terrified her before he "asked for a kiss".
The BBC headline frames this assault like a charmingly polite request in a mutual courtship. It's a strange mistake to make.

📣 After years of pushing for this, Govt has finally announced the repeal of the presumption of contact - a huge win for child safety.
This is a vital step towards ending the “pro-contact at all costs” culture in family courts and putting child welfare first. My statement ⬇️

Diana Parkes CBE and Hetti Barkworth-Nanton CBE, who are co-founders of the Joanna Simpson Foundation, said:
"For far too long, victims have had to reshape their lives to avoid their offenders. Exclusion zones have made victims feel trapped as though they are the ones serving a sentence, with the victim carrying the weight of someone else’s crime.
"This announcement from the Ministry of Justice is the much-needed change that has long been called for and is a powerful step forward. By placing restrictions on offenders instead, this will now give survivors the freedom they deserve to live, move and heal without fear. It will also be more cost-effective for those monitoring the perpetuators as they will be locked in specific areas rather than having to monitor the exclusion zones where the victims live."

Victims of #stalking & intimate partner #domesticabuse are getting younger. Elianne was only 15 when murdered by her ex. Funding needs to be given to #stalking charities so we can work with under 16s to prevent #femicide & #VAWG. Our hearts go out to her friends & family.

My recent landmark report revealed why so many victims walk away from the justice system. The findings are stark. Reform is urgent.
We need Government and criminal justice partners to act on the recommendations — victims deserve a better service.
