Father takes Clare's Law fight to No 10

THE father of a murder victim has handed in a petition at No 10 demanding a change in the law to help protect women from domestic abuse.

Michael Brown, originally from Aberdeen, travelled to Downing Street as part of a campaign to introduce Clare's Law so women can find out if boyfriends or husbands have a history of domestic violence.

Mr Brown's daughter, Clare Wood, was strangled and set on fire by her ex-boyfriend, George Appleton, at her home in Salford, Greater Manchester in February 2009.
