Parents of murdered Gracie Spinks deliver stark warning on police failings

Mistakes are still made in cases like their daughter's, say Gracie's parents, who are campaigning for more funding for anti-stalking advocates

Gracie Spinks was doing what she loved most - feeding her beloved horse one morning before work - when a stalker she had previously reported to the police killed her.

Her death came just a few months after Sarah Everard was murdered by police officer Wayne Couzens in March 2021, triggering a nationwide conversation about violence towards women and confidence in policing.
