In this episode Natalie Queiroz, MBE joins Laura for an important and emotional update. Natalie shares the latest development in her case - that Raja’s open-prison status has been revoked -for now- and they dive deep into the tireless campaign Laura and Natalie are working on to stop domestic abusers and stalkers from being eligible for early open-prison transfer. The change in Raja’s status is a critical step forward, but as Natalie and Laura discuss, the relief is short-lived. The system’s lack of clarity, inconsistent assessments, and ongoing failures leave victims trapped in cycles of anxiety, retraumatisation, and fear. Together, they explore the emotional and psychological toll of a system that overlooks intent to murder, and the continued danger of coercive controllers, why domestic abusers, coercive controllers and stalkers must be exempt from early open-prison transfer, along with the urgent need for specialised training for offender managers and probation officers and implications for victims’ safety, justice, and reform. Please take action:Listen, share, and amplify, and write to Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and call for domestic abusers and stalkers to be excluded from early transfer to open prison. Your voice matters -together, we can drive change and save lives. Trigger warning: This is a tough listen but an important one. It could save your life. #CrimeAnalyst #Femicide #Murder #AttemptedMurder #TrueCrime #Podcast #NatalieQueiroz #Investigation #WestMidlandsPolice #Behaviour #Risk #EarlyWarningSigns #CoerciveControl #Control #manipulation #Psychopath #BaburRaja #Prison #Release Clip https://x.com/AndrewmitchMP/status/1988674796918567415 Thank You to Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.
