New Hampshire Committee Seeks to Prevent Domestic Fatalities like Murder-Suicide in Berlin

Pamela Keilig, public policy specialist with the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, said domestic violence fatality reviews are just one of many tools that should be used in the aftermath of devastating incidents, like the murder-suicide in Berlin.

“Domestic violence and fatalities like this just really shake a community, and during a time like this, everyone is looking for answers and wants to understand why something happened,” Keilig said. “So this is a very useful avenue for that conversation to happen and ensure that it's done in a very thorough, strategic and thoughtful manner.”

“I think domestic violence is 100% preventable,” said Keilig. “What we saw in Berlin is preventable, but I think there's, there's more than one thing that needs to be improved on in order to ensure that future incidents like this won't happen again.”
