She begged police for help. They turned her away. Days later, she was murdered.

Authorities even released her abuser on bail. When She Asked for Help, Police Told Her to "Cool Off." Four Days Later, Her Husband Stabbed and Burned Her to Death. Investigate the Police that Failed Kelly Wilkinson!      Sign Now      Indra,   Just four days before she was murdered, Kelly Wilkinson went to the police one last time. According to testimony at a coronial inquest, she was told to "cool off" and "give [him] a break," in reference to her husband who would later murder her.    Days later, Kelly was dead. The warning signs were everywhere. Kelly contacted police multiple times — five times total, including once that police failed tor record. She was officially classified as a high-risk victim after her husband attacked her and a domestic violence order was issued.   Yet police never created a safety plan for her. They never opened a referral to a specialist domestic violence liaison officer. Even worse, her husband was improperly granted police bail without appearing before a magistrate, which is in direct violation of Queensland's bail laws. This erroneous release gave him the opportunity he needed to kill Kelly. Days later, Kelly Wilkinson's husband stabbed her, soaked her with gasoline, and burned her in her own home. This tragedy was a catastrophic failure by the very system meant to protect her.
