Mum in plea for male domestic abuse refuge centres after son killed by fiancée
05.12.2022 - 23:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A heartbroken mother whose son was stabbed to death by his fiancée has issued a plea for more refuge spaces to be established throughout the UK to support male victims of domestic violence. Devastated Jose Linnane, 67 reportedly screamed "like an animal" when police informed her that her 23-year-old son, Simon Gilchrist, had tragically been murdered in his flat.
The victim's killer was his abusive fiancée, Caroline Mawhood, who fatally stabbed him in the heart in his flat in York in 2004 after she came home from a night out, the Mirror reports. With only 269 male domestic abuse support units across the UK, Mrs Linnane is pleading for more refuge facilities to open in a bid to help prevent further deaths.
According to the charity, ManKind, London does not have a single safe place for male victims of domestic violence. Mrs Linnane, from York, told the Mirror: "For women I believe there's a refuge in every city or town.
"It should be the same for men. If we don't open more refuges we will have more deaths.
"I've been contacted by people whose sons or brothers have taken their own lives because of domestic abuse. If you find the courage to look for help and there's not much out there you are going to give up."
More male victims are now confiding in their domestic abuse than ever before with one UK helpline receiving a record breaking number of calls from men. However, there are only 269 spaces for males in safe houses across the country in comparison to a reported 4,289 refuge spaces for women in England.
ManKind confirmed that Scotland and the south-east of England have only two spaces each for male victims while London has none at all. In the North-East of England there are 10 spaces, 16 in Wales, 32 in the East Midlands, 24
