Calls for GPS monitoring of domestic abuse suspects after murder
Stacy Hunter's death has prompted calls for stronger protection for women
Domestic abuse campaigners are calling for greater use of location tracking technology to monitor high-risk suspects following the murder of a woman in Renfrewshire last month.
An online petition is calling for a "Stacy's law" in memory of Stacy Hunter who was killed at her home near Houston by her estranged husband while he was on bail.
Scottish ministers have previously faced criticism over the slow rollout of Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment, which is used far less in Scotland than in some other countries.
The Scottish government said it was listening to victims and support organisations and would carefully consider the petition.
Woman found dead was murdered, police say, as man's death still 'unexplained'
Man found dead with murdered wife had been accused of attacking her
The campaign has been started by Lynne Mackenzie, herself a domestic abuse survivor, who lives a few miles from the isolated cottage where Stacy was killed in July.
Stacy's husband Jim Mair, 43, whose body was found beside her, had been charged with assaulting her but had reportedly been granted bail, external on condition that he did not approach her.
While Mackenzie did not know Stacy personally, she said she was shocked at her murder which happened just six days after the death of another domestic abuse victim, Vikki Soloman, in Edinburgh.
