25. Cherylee Shennan
Cherylee Shennan, 40, was stabbed and beaten with a hammer by her partner, Paul O'Hara, in July 2014. O'Hara, 43, had only been released on a 'life licence', in April 2012, having killed his previous girlfriend, Janine Waterworth, in 1998. Cherylee, of Hardman Avenue, Rawtenstall, died of multiple stab wounds. An inquest ruled a failure to recall O’Hara to prison once reports of domestic violence against Cherylee were made contributed to her death. She died three days later after retracting allegations against him. He was later jailed for life for her murder. Photo: submit
