In July 2010, a 50-year-old nurse who lived and worked in London, was subjected to an extraordinary act of violence that left her dead and the multiple people who witnessed it traumatised. But many people don't know her story, because it has received little media coverage.
Today, to mark International Women's Day, we're going to look at the case of Donna Drepaul, a woman who was killed by a jealous man and highlight the on-going epidemic of violence against women and girls, which the UK government have no labelled a 'National Emergency'.
This is REAL.
