Elinor O'Brien, a 22-year-old woman, was tragically murdered by her 45-year-old partner, Kevin Mannion, in August 2022 at his flat in Manchester.

Mannion was subsequently sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 23 years, after being found guilty of murder, wounding with intent, and controlling and coercive behavior.

Elinor's sister, Lindsay, expressed profound grief over her loss, describing Elinor as loyal, beautiful, and courageous, and emphasized that no amount of justice could fill the void left by her sister's death.

In response to such tragedies, Julie Davey and Carole Gould founded the campaign Killed Women, motivated by the murders of their own daughters by ex-boyfriends, which highlighted the need for reform in domestic violence sentencing.

The campaign aims to raise awareness about what it considers outdated sentencing laws for domestic homicides, advocating for penalties that are more consistent with those for murders committed outside the home.

As part of this initiative, Elinor is one of seven women being commemorated with plaques that include the victim's name, lifespan, the phrase 'killed here,' the perpetrator's sentence, and a call for legal reform.

To honor Elinor and other victims of domestic violence, a black and blue plaque will be placed at the site of her murder as part of the Killed Women campaign.

According to the National Police Chiefs' Council, there were 242 domestic abuse-related deaths in the UK from April 2022 to March 2023, with 80 of those classified as intimate partner homicides.
