A woman was failed by the police after she was forced to swallow her wedding ring before being beaten to death by her jealous husband, an inquest has ruled.Before she was murdered by Shaun Dyson on June 23, 2019, both the Dorset Police and Hampshire Constabulary missed opportunities to save Lucy-Anne Rushton's life, a three-week inquest into the death of the mum of five heard.Ms Rushtom was murdered by Dyson who kicked, punched and stamped on her, leaving her with 37 rib fractures, a broken breastbone and collapsed lungs, the Mirror reports.

Ms Rushton's brother had gone to police in the month prior to the murder - to report Dyson for taking photos of himself sexually abusing Ms Rushton on her 30th birthday, an inquest heard.Officers were also called a year before following an altercation between the pair at a Bournemouth hotel, where Dyson was overheard calling the mum a "drunken slut" during an altercation.

During their stay, Ms Rushton was seen by a guest in the corridor with her face and hands covered in blood and notified security.The jury today recorded a unanimous narrative conclusion highlighting the failings in the lead up to Ms Rushton's unlawful killing.

The jury chair read: "The relationship between both parties was abusive and violent, the relationship made a material impact on her death."In 2018 they were staying at a hotel in Bournemouth, a 999 call was made, police responded and when questioned by police [Ms Rushton] denied any altercation.
