Michaela was in a relationship with a prolific offender who murdered her in her home by stabbing her in the eye. The Coroner found multiple failings across a number of services, including police, probation and adult and children's social care. These included:

- An inadequate assessment of the risk posed to Michaela and her children by her partner
- Multiple failures to communicate between agencies
- A lack of professional curiosity leading to a failure to investigate the perpetrator's mental impairment, despite clear warning signs
- Failure to act on or share information received from family members.

The PFD report quotes from the Coroner's full judgement, which is not available at judiciary.uk, but which is likely to add clarity about these failings and the steps needed to correct them.
