England and Wales partner killers face decade jail

In England and Wales, offenders who kill their current or former partners will face a minimum sentence of 25 years, an increase of 10 years, announced by the justice secretary. The change, part of a campaign by victims' families, aims to better reflect the severity of domestic murders, which often currently carry a starting point of 15 years. The new sentencing rules will apply to cases where a weapon is taken to the scene with intent, while existing guidelines remain for domestic abuse killings where the victim is the perpetrator.
