Can anyone shed any light on an investigation into domestic violence. Reported issue to police in June. Initially all anxious to investigate, to get access to mobile phone records etc. and then now say they can't do anything.
Issue concerns ex partner who was making constant threats that he could not guarantee the safety of our children while on holiday last summer. Also, he has previously made an attempt on my life, which I did not report at time, as I was too scared and had just had a baby. There were also suspicions around the death of his first wife in U.K., which his step children were willing to corroborate. He sort of admitted this to me last year, but laughed and said I would not be able to prove it.
I told all this to Gardai. Initially really keen to investigate. They interviewed my friend re. the constant bullying I have experienced and the fears for my safety. They also said they sent file to U.K. about what ex had said to me in relation to his first wife. Then they told me the coroner in the particular area in U.K. was going to see whether she could reopen the case. Hadn't heard anything in ages so rang Coroner in this particular area of U.K. and she hadn't a clue what I was talking about, so obviously gardai had not contacted her. What is going on? I know there are some legal eagles on this board - would appreciate any advice on this. My ex (we were not married) has intimated that he has friends in the Gardai. Is it possible that this kind of influence still prevails given all the corruptions scandals?
I would really appreciate some advice, as I'm on my own with two small children, and living with constant threats and bullying, e.g. threats to get custody of the children, to take me back to court if I work (I have primary care), and to take children out of country and not return them.
