Domestic violence top cause of homicides in affluent Fairfax Co.(VA) in 2009

Jane Stevens 2/22/1310:55 AM

Eight of the 14 homicides in Fairfax County in 2009 stemmed from a family dispute and most of the victims were women.

A 2012 review by a special committee the Board of Supervisors established found that only three of the victims ever contacted police and only one had a protective order prior to dying. The Fairfax County Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team reviewed only 2009 homicides.
