Murder the ultimate cost of home violence

MURDER was the ultimate price being paid by the victims of domestic violence, a seminar heard yesterday.

Unless the increasing problem of domestic violence was addressed, growing numbers of women could be killed, the Dun Laoghaire seminar was told.

The seminar, Southside Addressing Violence Effectively (SAVE), heard from Stephanie Holt of Trinity College Dublin that murder was the heavy price being paid by victims of domestic violence.
