THE deadly domestic attacks, particularly against women, have yet again drawn criticisms from several people, just two weeks after Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar reaffirmed her government's commitment to strengthening systems for families in crisis.

At the funeral of slain UNC councillor Romona Victor, 36, on November 27 in Siparia, the Prime Minister told mourners that no one should endure their pain in silence and that help must be accessible to anyone who feels unsafe.

Victor's killer, her husband Rodney Ramsumair, 45, died by suicide. Their bodies were discovered at their home at Coora Branch Road, Siparia, on November 23.
