Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“Some of the appalling details here London woman Polly Murphy guilty of Clacton hotel room murder – BBC News. “After the jury delivered its verdict, Self’s mother, Ashe, said: ‘Like so many men, James was embarrassed by the control and violence being inflicted on him. Sadly, he would never come forward to seek help.'” This murder a culmination of many “incidents”.
It’s an easy thing to deny men justice by doing nothing to invite them to even approach authorities. Were there even a third of the effort put into helping women, it would make a difference. Yet the reality is it’s given practically zero effort and resources. Contrast that with all the help for women and the policy of not even punishing women and closing all women’s prisons! Making this case of a not suspended custodial sentence all the more rare. Imagine the unlikelihood of a father having his children’s feelings being considered.”

Justice for Men & Boys 
I predict this murdering bitch will get off with a slap on the hand.

I can see that after 13 years nothing has changed in attitudes of authorities towards men being recipients of domestic violence. The police are useless along with judiciary and support services..
I remember Thames valley police quietly announcing on their website in 2013( 2015?) that they finally acknowledged that men could be victims of domestic violence, but they added the caveat that women were the overwhelming majority of victims. How galling that is for a man to see that and think “the police will never believe you”( that was the phrase often used by my abuser).
I had to flee many years ago when in a similar situation to James only find the attitudes towards me were like this. I can only conclude that we still live in a very sick society…
I would urge anyone who sees a man in this situation to speak up and say something, even if It’s for the slightest issue or your instinct tells you that something is not right..
..and I concur along with malepiano that she will get off, probably claiming not to be well,or traumatic childhood, mental health eg a licence to do more of the same
