Norfolk death prompts review into domestic abuse on men

Article here. Excerpt:

'A review into the death of a 27-year-old man who took his own life after suffering sustained domestic abuse at the hands of his partner has highlighted concerns that not enough is done to help male victims.

In the report, his family claim he was "treated differently" by agencies intended to help people suffering from domestic abuse because he was a man and that police often took his partner's side, as she was a woman.

The review was carried out by the Norfolk Community Safety Partnership (NCSP) after a police investigation into his death uncovered the history of domestic abuse.

It describes how the father-of-two - who is anonymised as 'Val' in the report - was repeatedly assaulted by his partner, 'Kim', to the extent that he was left cut, bruised and bleeding.'
