VAWG: Number of officers in domestic violence unit cut

Police are continuing to question two men over the murder of children’s nurse Karen Cummings, 40, in Banbridge, County Down.

The police said they remained committed to tackling violence against women and girls.

A spokesperson said: “As a service, we are devastated by the rate of femicide in Northern Ireland.

“We are playing our part in sending a strong message that violence against women and girls should not, and will not, be tolerated and we are strong in our belief that the prevailing culture of deep-rooted misogyny needs a whole societal response and commitment to stamp out.

“Women are being cruelly robbed off their lives and their families left behind, they are shattered by this.”

The spokesperson encouraged people to come forward to police and report any domestic violence.
