Between September 2010 and October 2012, 11 separate domestic violence incidents including Brittle and Williams were reported to the police, four of which were reported by Brittle herself.
In June 2012, Williams threw Miss Brittle into a changing room at the shop where she worked. She emerged shaken with red marks on her neck. But there was no CCTV of the attack and police inquiries were dropped.
In August 2012, he head-butted her and threw her into a shopping mall photo booth. She refused to press charges and an inexperienced officer did not arrest him.
On October 3. 2012, Casey Brittle was murdered by 29-year-old Sanchez Williams, while their two-year-old daughter was in the house listening. The little girl walked into the room where her father was carrying out the attack and afterwards stayed with her unconscious mother for two hours. A neighbour heard her daughter screaming ‘I want my mummy’ as she was attacked.
Brittle died in hospital from injuries to her head, including a jaw fractured on both sides, caused by being punched, kicked and stamped on.
A post-mortem examination concluded that the cause of death was multiple blunt impact injuries, predominantly to her head. There were 27 separate points of injury to her face and head.

Williams appealed his sentence and appeal judges increased his minimum of 15 years to 20 years.
