A failing police force is being sued by the family of a disabled woman who was killed by her boyfriend days after officers failed to act on her pleas for help.

Natasha Wild, 23, was stabbed after giving police a diary detailing abuse by Lloyd Brackenbury, 32. Natasha, who had ­cerebral palsy, had tried to tell three PCs she had been sexually abused, slashed in the chest and thrown across a room four times.

She wrote of Brackenbury: “Says that because me and my friend said we were forever friends, it means he must kill me.” One officer described the diary as “nothing”, court papers claim.

They instead focused on his mental health, a Domestic Homicide Review found. He killed her at home in Syke, Rochdale, 11 days later on November 29, 2016.
