Yesterday, an 82-year-old woman called Palmira Silva was killed in her garden in Edmonton, north London.
She is the hundredth woman killed by a man this year; the first was 87-year-old Elsie Mowbray, who died in hospital on 8 January from injuries sustained when her house was burgled on New Year’s Day. A 33-year-old man has been charged. The 50th, according to the list maintained by campaigner Karen Ingala Smith, was Ann Maguire – the teacher stabbed in her classroom.
