Great Yarmouth murder police put on restricted duties

At his trial in November, the jury was told how Ms Kershaw had called police the day before the murder.

Barnard was arrested on suspicion of assaulting her but was released without charge.

On the day of her death, police safeguarding staff tried to contact Ms Kershaw but she did not answer her phone.

Ms Kershaw’s family said she had been “let down by many people” who had failed to see how vulnerable she was.

A post-mortem examination found Ms Kershaw’s death was consistent with compression to the neck.

Barnard was jailed for life with a minimum term of 19 years.

Judge Alice Robinson, in her sentencing, described how the defendant “manipulated the professionals you spoke with into thinking you were the victim, not her”.
