Kellie Sutton: New inquest finds abuse victim unlawfully killed
The family of a woman who took her own life after domestic abuse said they had "fought for many years" for an inquest to rule she was unlawfully killed.
Kellie Sutton, 30, was found unconscious at the home she shared with partner Steven Gane in Welwyn Garden City on 23 August 2017.
A previous inquest at Hertfordshire Coroner's Court concluded she died by suicide, but this now been overturned.
Ms Sutton's family said the conclusion was "ground-breaking".
It is believed to be the first time an inquest has returned a conclusion of unlawful killing after a woman has taken her own life following domestic abuse.
