Failures by West Midlands Police ‘materially contributed’ to murder of two women

An inquest has found that multiple errors by West Midlands Police ‘materially contributed’ to the deaths of two women who were murdered after repeated calls to the police.

Raneem Oudeh and her mother Khaola Saleem were stabbed to death by Ms Oudeh’s abusive ex-partner in August 2018.  An investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct also concluded there were ‘missed opportunities’.
