Summary

On Saturday 9th of October 2021, mother-of-four Nicole Hurley was brutally attacked in her bed; only the man who murdered her wasn’t a stranger who’d stalked her or a burglar who’d broken in, but the jealous and controlling boyfriend she’d loved, lay beside, and raised a family with for half of her life. That night, he took her life, orphaned her children and devasted her family, yet - like so many domestic assaults which culminate in a killing – it could have been stopped, if only he’d got himself some help.

Date: Sunday 10th of October 2021 at 12:30am (rough time of attack)
Location: Block 2, Kingsland Estate, Broxwood Way, Primrose Hill, London, NW8.
Victim: 1 (Nicole Ann Hurley)
Culprits: 1 (Jason Bell).
