Spain calls second emergency meeting over murders of six more women

Government convenes domestic violence experts after killings of six women and a young girl this month

The Spanish government has called a second emergency meeting of domestic violence experts in less than a month after the murders of six women and a young girl since the start of January, and as it considers a plan to let abused women know if their partners have been convicted of violent offences.

The crisis committee was last assembled after the murders of 11 women in December.
