Rural, remote, and northern B.C. communities are experiencing disproportionately high rates of intimate partner violence death, a new death review panel from the B.C. Coroners Service has found.

The panel, which released its report Monday (April 27), says its findings are “unequivocal.”

Between 2016 and 2024, at least 135 people – that includes partners, children, family members, friends, and perpetrators themselves – died as a result of intimate partner violence. Those 135 deaths happened in 107 separate incidents.

Intimate partner homicide has clear warning signs – and is often preventable, research shows https://theconversation.com/intimate-partner-homicide-has-clear-warning-signs-and-is-often-preventable-research-shows-280984 @TheConversationUS
