Did you know that if someone takes a knife to somewhere – a park for eg – and murders someone, the starting point for their jail sentence is 25 years. But if someone kills in the home with a knife already at the scene, like in the kitchen drawer, the starting point for their jail sentence is 10 years less 
 
Why? It doesn’t make sense 
 
Well now after incredibly determined campaigning by the mums of 3 young women – women who were killed in the home by their boyfriend or ex – the law is being changed
 
Carole Gould, Julie Devey and Elaine Newborough, from the charity Killed Women have been fighting for SEVEN years for the minimum sentence for domestic murder to be increased

Now it’s happening. The gov says it intends to close the 10 yr gap so domestic killers face higher sentences

The photos below show Julie & Carole, Carole with her daughter Ellie, Julie with her daughter Poppy, and finally Megan

Ellie was 17 when she was murdered
Poppy was 24
Megan was 23
