The family of Holly Newton, who was stabbed to death at the age of 15, has been told that the law will change after campaigning over her death.
Newton’s family has been pressing for legal reform following the killing. They have now received assurances that changes will be made, although the supplied information does not set out which law is involved or when any change will take effect.
The case has centred on Newton’s death and the role of her former partner, referred to as her ex. The family’s campaign has sought a response through changes to the law after the teenager was murdered.
No further details have been provided about the proposed reforms, the timetable for introducing them or the government’s specific commitments. The latest position is that Newton’s family has been told its campaigning will lead to a change in the law.
