The harrowing story of a Sheffield woman who took her own life after suffering domestic abuse has been discussed by city safeguarding teams.
A domestic homicide report into the death of a woman named as Leah in summer 2020 by Sheffield Drug and Alcohol/Domestic Abuse Coordination Team (DACT) was included in the latest review of the Sheffield Children Safeguarding Partnership.
The report said that Leah died by suicide from an overdose of alcohol and prescription drugs. Her partner, named as AP, had breached a domestic abuse violence protection order and was present leading up to her death.
