The first instance was a 35 year old with a troubled past and a history of domestic violence, who burst into the house and stabbed his wife and mother-in-law. The 35-year-old’s wife was identified by the police as a victim of domestic violence, and due to this she had access to the ELPIS service, which, with the press of a button, sends an SOS signal to emergency authorities. Unfortunately for her, she did not have time to press the button, resulting in her being stabbed. Two days later, a new incident rattled Cyprus. A 55-year-old police officer showed up for duty, loaded up his gun, and went searching for his wife, who was apparently on her way to work. Even after a citizen approached them, while the husband was gripping the victim by the neck, he still went through with his murderous plan. “Go away, she’s my wife,” he said to the witness, and shot her in the head and body. The woman who was shot, as stated by the authorities, had never filed a report of domestic violence. How is it possible that everything was rosy and she still ended up with a bullet shot at her one morning? How is strangulation considered normal? A few hours after the incident, a member of her family stated, among other things, “For many years my mother experienced a reality full of psychological violence, fear and control…” But where is a police officer’s wife supposed to turn for help with domestic abuse? Who would believe her? The tragedy requires that a discussion be opened up to fill in the gaps that exist. The same goes for the stabbing case, with the victim who never found ELPIS. Perhaps it is not enough for a signal to be transmitted from a mobile phone, but also from another device (e.g., a necklace) that the victim could carry around at all times. Regardless of this, the responsibility for the notification should not fall solely on the victim. Those who have been reported for violence against women and domestic violence, who have restrictive measures, should remain under surveillance (!) via GPS devices or with a bracelet so that they stay away from the victims. This example and other practices are already being implemented and followed in European countries, restraining perpetrators and forcing them to remember to stop. Ireland has approved Jennie’s Law, which will require the creation of a register domestic violence offenders. In other countries, you can ask if there is a complaint of gender specific violence against a specific person. PS: The perpetrators are the only ones who should be afraid. This way everything is in the open and no one else is murdered.
