Two police officers have been sacked for failing to protect a woman who complained her domestic abuser had breached a legal order before he stabbed her a month later.
In August 2021, the woman showed Hertfordshire Police officers PC Dominic Van Der Linden and former PC Mark Coleman doorbell footage of her ex-husband standing outside her home.
The man was not arrested, as the officers reminded him of the conditions of his non-molestation order and no further action was taken.
The next month he stabbed his victim several times, leaving her with serious injuries.
