Remembering the women killed by men in 2024
Share:
By early August 2024, 50 women had allegedly been killed by men in the UK. Now, it is thought that number is closer to 100. But these women shouldn’t just be considered yet another statistic in a horrifying body count. These women mattered. They were someone’s daughter, sister, friend, mum, aunt, and much-loved colleague.
Each had a name and a life, before it was brutally stolen from them – more often than not, by someone they once trusted and loved. Here, Metro pays tribute to just some of the women whose lives were needlessly cut short by men in 2024. For these women, their killers were either found dead, admitted being guilty, or a jury found them so.

Many other women, and their families, are still waiting for justice. Christine Bauld, 53. Pharmacy dispenser Christine Bauld had a thirst for travel. She and husband Tom would go skiing every year, took trips around the globe and often spent days out in their motor-cruiser moored in Hamble, Hampshire.

This year, the family was getting ready for another adventure. With Gregor now in his 20s, they had put their house in Burbage, Leicestershire, on the market and were looking for somewhere new to call home. But Tina would never get to make that move. On March 3, as she got ready to walk her dog in the village where she and her family had become a much-loved part of the community, her life was brutally ended on the street outside her home.
