She had called the police seven times in a year, including reports of death threats and attacks by her boyfriend.

The last time she called was in April last year, as Daniela Espirito Santo reported another assault. An hour later, she was dead. Her boyfriend Julio Jesus was sentenced to just ten months in prison, after the Crown Prosecution Service dropped its manslaughter charge.

In a confidential police watchdog report obtained by the New York Times and seen by this programme, we can reveal the full extent of Daniela's contact with police before she died. As we report, lawyers say her death shows the system is failing victims of domestic violence.
