Eleven years ago today, in the early hours of 22 July 2013, 16 year-old Dwayne ‘Gully Queen’ Jones, was beaten and stabbed to death by a mob in Irwin, Montego Bay. Hundreds of persons at the dance, scores of witnesses, but no one charged, and no justice for a young #Jamaican.

Nowhere is the racism of the UK media laid more bare than in its coverage of dead women. Some of the victims in DHRs I have done get acres of coverage; others are barely mentioned. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

Guardian Long Read by Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff on the story of Fiona Holm & the missed opportunities by the Met to protect her and to investigate her disappearance Sophie Naftalin and Erica at Bhatt Murphy represent the families of Fiona Holm & Naomi Hunte. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j… 🧵

Naftalin: “Both Naomi Hunte & Fiona Holm were vulnerable black women who called on the police for protection from Carl Cooper, a man who was known to the Met to be a serial perpetrator of high-risk domestic abuse” 2/3

Naftalin: Both these deaths were preventable. My clients are deeply pained by the inference that Naomi & Fiona were both treated w/contempt by the police because they were black women with mental health conditions & not therefore considered to be deserving of protection or help”

170,000 people go missing each year in the UK. The case of Fiona Holm provides proof of how little help most families of missing people get. In 2025, it is time to reallocate resources away from Operation Grange (Madeleine McCann) and to these families. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…
