[quote]A police force has been criticised for failing to respond to a 999 call made by a woman who was subsequently stabbed to death in front of her young daughter.
Rabina Bibi, 35, made the emergency call at 7.36pm on September 3, 2008, to report her ex-partner, Zakarya Rezaie, banging on the door of her home in Foleshill, Coventry.
Five minutes later, she called to say he had left and she no longer required police assistance.
Warwick Crown Court was told that in fact Rezaie was already in the house and had forced her to call police and say that he had gone.
Less than 30 minutes after that, 999 received a call from Ms Bibi's terrified seven-year-old daughter, Ayesha.
A jury at Warwick Crown Court heard that Ayesha asked for the police and said: "He's my mummy's friend and he's trying to kill her with a knife.... She's bleeding everywhere."
West Midlands Police officers then went to the house and found Ms Bibi with multiple stab wounds. Despite calling for an ambulance she died at the scene.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said West Midlands Police "failed" Ms Bibi by not sending out an officer when she made the first call.
Police should have arrived within half an hour.
The watchdog's commissioner, Len Jackson, said: "She was entitled to a police response within 30 minutes based on the information she provided and it failed to happen.
"It will never be known whether she would still be alive today had police officers been despatched to her in accordance with force policy."
The IPCC said Ms Bibi's second call was treated correctly in not cancelling a police response to what had been logged as a domestic incident, despite the caller's request.
The watchdog said: "(We find) that the grading of Ms Bibi's first 999 call as an 'early response incident', classified as there being genuine concern for a person's safety, was appropriate on the information she provided.
"It meant that police officers should have attended her within 30 minutes. However, no such police resource was deployed to the first 999 call logged."
The IPCC investigation has been unable to establish with certainty whether the cause was due to "an IT failure or human error".
West Midlands Police said it had agreed to review its IT systems and staff training to avoid a repeat of the failings.
Rezaie, 29, from Cardiff, south Wales, was last year sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder.[/quote]
Why the fuck didn't they respond? Aren't they always required to respond to emergency calls?
Stupid cops, have they never seen Panic Room?
Wow, they fell for the old "Hey I don't need help anymore please don't come over".
They should send someone over to check the place out just to be sure for that exact reason...
One of my friends was feeding me bullshit about how slowly the Government and it's services are trying to slowly control the population by attempting to kill off small amounts of citizens. (I partially believed this when one of my friends almost died from the Swine Flu Vaccine!)
Now this is just making me feel like believing it more!
Because of them some poor 7 year old girl is left to live life alone...
:argh:
good job police, your incompetence kills yet another life

Silly lady, why didn't she call 911?
^ joke
Sometimes the emergency operator people just fail, or the cops don't get the message in time. I think the whole system should be fixed so that something like this doesn't happen again.

Well the article does say that the dispatchers didn't cancel her request for help even though she made that second call. It sounds like the police just weren't alerted about the first or second call for some reason.
What's with kids stabbing their parents? This week I have seen 3 threads about it.
Oh read wrong, thought the little girl was the stabber.

She didn't get stabbed by her kid.

You should get to your airtight bunker immediately.
At least we can legally defend ourselves where I live.
Poor woman needed a gun.
The person that received that call should be charged with manslaughter.

Haha, no.
Silly kids thinking they know all about the law and what should be and shouldn't be.
Wow that's pretty shit

If you used a gun in self defense in England you'd get sent to prison for doing that.
