A study reveals the extent of controlling behaviour in cases where victims are killed by current or ex-partners.
Gary Price, pictured alongside his mother Marion, is highlighting the issue of coercive control following her murder
"He [her ex-husband] would control what she spent her money on," Gary says. "He gradually ground her down and tried to encourage her to leave work so eventually it would just be her and him and she wouldn't be able to leave." In 2019, Marion was followed her home by her estranged husband, who then shot her dead while she was still in the car. "As she pulled into her drive he pulled up alongside her and shot her through the window," Gary says. "She hadn't even taken her seatbelt off."Coercive and controlling behaviour - which is a pattern of psychological abuse and intimidation used to harm and frighten a victim - has been a criminal offence in the UK since 2015.
Mia, not her real name, says even though her ex-partner was coercive and controlling when they were together, she didn't realise what is happening at the time. She says she didn't piece together all the things he was doing until later. "There was extreme name-calling and death threats. Then one day he attacked me and it was only when my doctor asked how things were at home that the situation changed. They said to pack an emergency bag for me and my baby and put me in touch with a refuge."
