Domestic violence victim commits suicide after police refuse to accept her complaint
Three officers from Lancashire Police in North West England have been charged over the suicide of Keena Dawes. A 23-year-old woman took her own life after police refused to accept her complaint against her partner, whom she accused of domestic violence. “Scythe” drew attention to the story.
In the summer of 2022, Keena Dawes was hospitalized after being attacked by 30-year-old Ryan Wellings. A criminal case was opened against the man and he was banned from approaching the victim and released on bail. Two weeks after the attack, Wellings broke the ban and contacted Dawes.

The girl complained to police that Wellings had violated his bail conditions, but her complaint was dismissed. The police also demanded that Dawes delete a Facebook post in which she described the violence she experienced, although she did not name the perpetrator.
Due to police inaction, Keena Dawes committed suicide on July 22, 2022. In her suicide note, she stated that Wellings had “killed” her. “I hope my life saves someone else if the police act faster,” the girl wrote.
Ryan Wellings himself was found guilty by a jury yesterday of assault and domestic violence charges against Dawes. However, he was acquitted of manslaughter charges.

Wellings' mother Lisa Green and his girlfriend Emma Scott are also being investigated for attempting to pervert the course of justice. They are suspected of “coaching” the man on how to testify in court.
In early December, the Kemerovo Regional Court approved compensation of 700 thousand rubles, which the Ministry of Internal Affairs must pay to the family of the murdered Vera Pekhteleva, reported the human rights project “Traumpunkt”. The police ignored seven calls from neighbors who heard how former partner Vladislav Kanyus beat and raped Pekhteleva for several hours.
