​@@mariaorourke5236 Yes, men are sometimes the victims of domestic abuse too, but the fact that you feel compelled to leave multiple comments which seem to equate the two is rather disturbing. If we look at human history, tradition, religion, culture, mentality and patriarchal societal norms, femicide was and still is alternately allowed, encouraged, justified and very common. The statistics will tell you that the VAST majority of domestic violence victims across the globe are women. I do not think that this is an appropriate place to repeatedly try to insert much less frequent forms of abuse, when this video exposes a frequent toxic phenomenon of femicide, which costs 2 women their lives every single week and while men are still frequently tought that being male means being dominant, aggressive and violent. You keep insisting on repeating what we already know, while the systemic problem lies elsewhere. It just feels exaggerated, misleading and wrong.

Twenty years imprisonment for all the pain and sorrow that monster caused is a joke. They should have locked him up and thrown away the key!

[@christianemontazer]

I wonder why the new boyfriend couldn’t take her to work or back home only at the time the friends car was broken down … so many questions 😢

[@catherinemagee-l3x]

I dont think they lived together perhaps he was working as well...I was wondering if he was responsible for her friends car breaking dwn like what was the odds of her having to walk that day.

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

Dedicated Police work . Bravo .

[@wombatlittle1]

20 years what a joke, her life was worth more than 20 years. Her beloved son is without her for the rest of his life. No justice at all.

[@davidnelson7149]

Sherlock Holmes would have worked this out in two minutes, but then anybody who is supposed to be a detective could. Using Holmes's own analogy, 'when you have illuminated all probabilities, that which remains must be the truth', Obviously this monster came in on a false name, since he was the only person who held malice toward this unfortunate woman. Nowadays, he'd just get on a dinghy in France, throw his papers in the sea, and be escorted by the RNLI taxi service to Dover; and on to a five star hotel.

[@orlawalsh926]

This is so sad on so many levels , i hope her son is doing well his mom clearly wanted a better life for him .❤

[@carolw1624]

Do the women in Britain not have any rights? Are they treated as second rate? I have watched a few of these lately on cases in Britain and same result. Man attacks women, man gets off and kills women. This creep strangles her, flees the county, gets caught coming back in and case dismissed. He then attacks her with witnesses and even with a history of a flight risk he gets let out on bail. I had no idea England was so uncivilized.

[@joanannewallace]

Excellent Detective investigating work. Well done in finding her body and capturing the evil swine. He was determined to kill beautiful Vatalia and deprive her son of a loving mother. Thank goodness for the Satnav.

[@Roy-w2o3f]

Never ever let your guard down when a man threatens your life many times and failed to do so.... You keep eyes all around you....

[@denisemoore4000]

I think it's laughable that "life" is 20 years. I can't "for the life of me" figure out why the UK thinks this is justice. This was a premeditated murder. This was not a crime of passion. There are some people who don't deserve to live, no matter how uncomfortable that statement might make some people feel.

[@mariaorourke5236]

Complete monster and twenty years does not equate to 'life' unless you're at least seventy and there is no 'time off for good behaviour'.

[@karesage2889]

Thanks to the relentless efforts from the police the family were able to have her body back. What a wicked man to go to such lengths to end her life and deprive their son of a loving mother. Heartbreaking 😢

[@verabolton]

If only the police were relentless in protecting this poor woman and prevent her death 😥

[@laurastuart3814]

@@verabolton It was not the police who didn't protect her, it was the CPS.

Outstanding police work .

Poor son of Vitalija robbed of his beautiful mum😢

[@d.raneemercydesilva6545]

He would have been in prison before she was killed. Knowing how violent he is he was left free...what a miserable judgement.

[@nataliejane6724]

That woman NEEDED WITNESS PROTECTION- like complete change of identity. Some of these men 🤡🤬😱

[@catme13]

Wau, that her friends car was broken down exactly that day? Mind blowing! They spend weeks and weeks trying to locate her body, they should instead had arrested him and put him in jail when she was still alive.

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

Convenient wasn't it? I wonder if had a hand in that too? As for jailing him, for what exactly? You can't lock people up in Case they might do something, and as the CPS in their infinite 'wisdom' had quashed the case they had nothing to hold him for. They did everything they could by issuing a warrant if he came back, but he got around that.

[@camellia8625]

How on earth was he even allowed to board the ferry - surely it would be good to check passport images (as opposed to just names) against a database before people can board

He's a violent thug and 20 years isn't enough. A brilliant piece of detective work from the police once they had his satnav. I've been in Poland many times and some forestry areas are vast.

[@theduchessofschroon6111]

I hardly ever comment, however, the way that the British Police committed themselves to getting JUSTICE for Vitalija is not only commendable, but, too me is heroic!! That poor woman spent her last 10 years of life 😢 so frightened of every turn of a corner, is just soo sad to me! 😢! Again, the BP are stellar 👏! Honestly, I don't know why people commit murder these days because there is so much technology out there that 97% of the time they get caught! Thank God for that! RIP Vitalija ❤

[@lizadoesray]

The bottom line is, the police, the prosecutors, and the judges, don’t give a damn if someone’s beating up their partner. They usually do the least they possibly can.

[@tarantulamum4322]

why would you leave your 10 year old child on their own, my cousins son is 11 and she doesnt leave him on his own

[@Frazzled_Chameleon]

I feel so bad for women who continue to believe that their abuser will ever stop abusing them. How they keep falling for the false apologies and promises, and keep letting them in when they've finally attained freedom.

[@SnowWhite717_]

If someone who claims they love you hurts you, they don’t. I know firsthand it’s easier said than done, but leave the first chance you get! Don’t stay because you think your children need two parents, realize them being around the toxicity is worse for them. The person abusing you is insecure. You can NEVER fix it. NOTHING you do can change it. Leave before it’s too late! I left, but it took me 23 years. I regret waiting that long because I’m WAY stronger than I ever thought I could be and my girls are very very proud of who I’ve become. If you’re in a relationship or situation like this please get out and get help. Rest in Peace Vitalijia. The world is a bit darker without your light, but heaven is a bit brighter. ❤

[@whatsinaname3561]

I find it disgusting that a murderer is given the option of parole. They should stick them in prison and throw away the key

[@janesmith9024]

That is so awful The irony is if she had done a name change as he did and not hold him where she was she might have been able to be free of him. I am glad they found the body. We need much much much tighter borders and many many fewer people let into the UK.

[@jane54ish]

20 years ! an absolute insult ! heartbreaking...

[@camellia8625]

Incredible police work

[@robpalwrites]

Not really, they were awfully slow on the uptake, particularly in figuring out he'd changed his name in Lithuania and was able to travel under a new identity. They even had a warning when he was spotted a few days earlier. That's bad police work in my book. 👎

[@scottal]

​@@robpalwrites it was sarcasm

[@bieberfrau6660]

The incompetence is indescribable.

[@maryannswanson3832]

It's so hard to watch these because I get so angry at the absolute disregard for this woman by the police!!! All these macho law men and they can't dig a little to find out he changed his name?? Oh big deal, NOW they are going to look for her body?!?! That poor woman went through hell. These cops, too little, too late !

[@maryodonoghue9222]

RIP beautiful Vitalia. Condolences to her son,family and friends. Such a jealous, narcissistic, horrible monster

[@squirrelmanning7889]

Poor lady at least got to experience a short time of what a normal loving relationship is like. 😢

[@birdman7687]

Idk the ending yet, but I’m wondering if he sabotaged the friends car..

[@IwasBlueb4]

im thinking thee same

[@thedinnerparty4795]

She should have started a new life in a new city

[@evebeaumont]

These type of bullies don't want to lose, my father was the same so I know the type. The police would serve victims of domestic abuse better by understanding the mind of a violent narcissist and anticipate the outcome. Victims need support to leave and change their identities, but unfortuanely they have to deal with the law that allows an abusive father the right to see his child/children. Not all fathers should automatically have the right to see their children.

[@mariaorourke5236]

Or indeed abusive mothers and they are out there too. Some parents are not fit to maintain a relationship with their child/children.

[@jenniferellis7934]

'you have to tell us that it's happening...' and then YOU let the murderers go. You let her down, no one else. That man should never had been released.

[@fevkin]

What a tragic tale, another child's mother murdered by the dad. Twenty years isn't enough. I would give him thirty and with any luck, he'd come out in a box

[@thedinnerparty4795]

This is so annoying as the police seem to be helpless to truly help. This girl should be moved by the government to a New city, and she should’ve been warned that if she takes any electronic goods from her husband, he’s probably got some sort of device in there, so he can listening and track her movements
