How can you fix a problem when you don’t understand it? One of the biggest issues with domestic violence deaths is the government’s reluctance to count them properly. Another is the people dealing with them aren’t trained in recognising the capability and culpability of killer narcissists and/or expert abusers. We speak to the people with the power to change this and those doing the best they can within a broken system.

Borce Ristevski is eligible for parole next year. At the time of sentencing, he was marketed by his defence team as being a good candidate for rehabilitation. However, he’s yet to show any signs of remorse or reveal how and why he killed his 41 year-old wife Karen. Like so many killer narcissists, he’s manipulative and intimidating, so is there hope his true nature will be recognised? And if so, will it be enough to keep him behind bars?
