The Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership (KBSP) has today (21st June 2024) published a Domestic Homicide Review (DHR) which was commissioned following the death of Hassan (pseudonym) in January 2019. The Partnership wishes to extend their sympathy to anyone affected by Hassan’s death and thank those who have contributed to this review.
The primary purpose for undertaking DHRs is to enable lessons to be learned from homicides where a person has died as a result of domestic abuse, violence or neglect from a person they were in a relationship with, related to, or were a member of the same household. In this case, the review was commissioned on the basis that Hassan was a member of the same household as the perpetrator, Omar (pseudonym).
Parts of these reports have been redacted to protect the identity of those involved.
