Olliers Solicitors - Non-fatal Strangulation

The offence of non-fatal strangulation is a relatively new offence which came into force by virtue of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. Section 70 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 introduced the offences of non-fatal strangulation and non-fatal suffocation. Offences of racially or religiously aggravated non-fatal strangulation or non-fatal suffocation were also introduced. The offences came into force on 7 June 2022 and are not retrospective.
Director Ruth Peters explains the offence of Non-fatal Strangulation and specific details relating to sentencing. Our experience means that we understand the complexity of cases involving allegations of domestic abuse. We appreciate that matters are rarely as straightforward as they may initially seem. In the first instance, investigators will inevitably have only one side to the story.
If you face an allegation of domestic abuse of any kind, it is important not to sit back and leave the police to investigate the matter. At Olliers, we adopt a proactive approach during criminal investigations.
