Police must do more to protect women, says Vera Baird after Sabina Nessa killing

England and Wales victims' commissioner says there needs to be more onus on police to protect public

Police need to do more to make the streets safe for women and girls after the death of Sabina Nessa, the victims' commissioner for England and Wales has said.

Dame Vera Baird, who said she attended a vigil in Wood Green, London, in honour of the suspected murdered 28-year-old primary school teacher, on Friday evening, said there needs to be more onus on police to protect the public than on women to take precautions.
