In a troubling case from Levice, Slovakia, a 40-year-old man murdered his former partner, Jana, and her 11-year-old daughter, Ema. This incident is not an isolated occurrence, as data from the Slovak police indicates that between 2020 and 2024, 46 women lost their lives at the hands of their partners or ex-partners, reflecting a grim reality where, on average, one woman is killed nearly every month. The police's official statistics, however, do not capture the true extent of this violence, understating the number of cases by failing to include victims killed by ex-partners.
