A grieving mother is campaigning to criminalise homicide by coercive control after the tragic death of her daughter Chloe Holland, saying laws must be changed so “monsters are held accountable”.
In a recent meeting, Sharon Holland implored Portsmouth city councillors to support “Chloe’s Motion,” presented by Councillor Kirsty Mellor. The motion calls for coercive control perpetrators to face legal consequences in line with the suffering they have caused, suggesting manslaughter charges when victims take their lives due to abuse.
