Police Officer's Rejection Led to Murder-Suicide
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
A tragic murder-suicide in Wellington, New South Wales, reveals a senior police officers rejection of a protection order application, leaving a long-term partner unprotected. The couple, with a history of domestic violence, had a history of assaults against each other. The officers refusal to grant a cross-order, due to a lack of understanding of domestic violence complexities, has been criticized. The coroner recommends updating police procedures to clarify that failing to find a primary aggressor is not a reason to refuse a protection order application.
