Torfaen council told to examine death of Ruth Williams, whose husband was jailed for five years
Priti Patel has ordered a formal review into the circumstances behind the killing of Ruth Williams, whose husband’s five-year jail sentence for the crime prompted outrage from domestic violence charities and a group of MPs.
She has told Torfaen council in south Wales to carry out what is known as a domestic homicide review (DHR), a cross-agency examination of the background behind the death of an adult due to domestic violence or neglect, the Home Office said.
