    Police admit they should've done more for a young woman who was murdered by a man she complained was harassing her

    Police admit they should've done more for a young woman who was murdered by a man she complained was harassing her


    21-year-old AUT law student Farzana Yaqubi was stabbed to death by Kanwarpal Singh in 2022.

    She'd made an online report the 30-year-old was threatening, stalking and harassing her eight weeks before her murder.

    The independent police watchdog's found the way Police assess allegations of stalking isn't fit-for-purpose and failed to link her complaint with a similar one from another young woman.

    Police accept they missed several opportunities for earlier intervention and they should've acted sooner.
