Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced that tougher sentences will be introduced for jealous ex-partners who commit murder or strangulation. This decision follows an independent review focused on domestic homicide sentencing and aims to address the alarming rates of domestic violence. The new regulations will categorize strangulation and relationship-related killings as aggravating factors in sentencing. The changes are expected to take effect next year in England and Wales, reflecting concerns raised by activists about the adequacy of current laws.
