Murder of Linzi Ashton

 * – ( View AfD View log )

It is a great shame that domestic violence murders don't go down in the annals of history as much as "random psycho" murders, but we can't WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS that this was a run-of-the-mill crime according to sources. The name "Linzi Ashton" only yields six pages of results on Google. All news coverage ends with the verdict, apart from this Independent article with a misprinted date, a Sun article showing the update date (not an RS) and one Cosmo article weeks after the verdict. Nothing to suggest that this murder was a particular breaking point in how we look at domestic violence, no new laws made off the back of it, no books, documentaries, series.
