Mum of woman who took own life after 'horrific' domestic abuse calls for law change
Jessica Laverack was a talented hairdresser who travelled the world with her job. “She had a very privileged life. She had horses and she did lots of social activities," explains her mum Phyllis Daly, 67.
"She just had the most affectionate and fun nature. She was so bright, bubbly, but her personality changed completely.”
'The support my Jessica needed is still not there'
The mother of a woman who took her own life after suffering domestic abuse says the authorities are still not working together to support victims.
Jessica Laverack, 34, was found dead at her home in Beverley, East Yorkshire, on 2 February 2018.
At her inquest, the coroner urged the government to recognise "the link between domestic abuse and suicide".
