Caveat: Only included in results where the victim to suspect relationship was listed as Partner, Ex Partner, Co-Habitee, Spouse. If no relationship has been listed on the investigation will not be included within the results. There are occasions where there could be multiple suspects linked to the same offence, in these cases the closest familial relationship and the corresponding gender as the one counted, eg partner and father in law listed as suspects in murder, included female partner in the figures and not the male father in law.
