Sister of stabbing victim calls for greater protection for abused women

The grief-stricken sister of a woman stabbed to death by her ex-partner has called for greater legal protection for women in abusive relationships.

Lisa Finnegan also urged women in similar relationships to speak out and seek protection before it is too late.

She was speaking outside court after Vesel Jahiri was sentenced to life in jail for killing her sister, Anna Finnegan, a month after the deceased had sought shelter at a women’s refuge.
