On Thursday, a tragic incident occurred in Nõo. A man stabbed a woman and then drove his car into another vehicle. Both drivers died.
Interior Minister Igor Taro asked on social media whether the justice system did enough to prevent this. He currently doesn't know the answer. He wouldn't want to be the judge who let the criminal go free.
He also has questions about how different agencies communicated with each other. They were monitoring the criminal and assisting the victim. Taro asked the police for a quick report on the matter.
Taro said that domestic violence is a big problem. He thinks there is a need for more action and awareness work. He wants the police to report domestic violence cases like traffic violations. Everyone should understand how bad it is.
Taro also spoke with organizations that fight against violence. He said that the laws are getting better. Such tragic cases help make these changes.
On Thursday morning in Nõo, two cars collided. According to preliminary data, one driver did it intentionally. The man had previously stabbed his former partner.
