Today’s true crime case takes us to August 2016 in the UK when Shana Grice, a 19 year old woman was scared. She had repeatedly contacted Sussex Police to report that she was being stalked by her ex partner, 27 year old Michael Lane. She reported him on at least 5 occasions and nothing was done. This was despite Lane assaulting her, stealing her key and breaking in to her property at night, standing over her bed whilst she slept. In fact, Shana was fined for wasting Police time for reporting the harassment. The Police finally took notice but only after Lane had murdered Shana on the morning of 25th August 2016. He broke into her home, slit her throat and then tried to burn her body. Lane tried to get away with his crimes but was eventually convicted. However, the true horror in this case comes from not only the Police inaction but the unapologetic, heartless demeanour of at least one Police Officer involved in this case who utterly let down Shana in life and disrespected her in death. This case is important as stalkers can be some of the most dangerous offenders, they are relentless in their behaviour, and this can lead to a victim suffering psychological torture 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Some will eventually take the life of their victim and stalking is a common indicator of potential domestic homicide. I include information on the behaviour of stalkers as well as information about support services and advice.
