67. Murder of Denise Skilbeck and IPCC Investigation of Nottinghamshire Police (Part III)

Published: June 28, 2021, 5 a.m.

For over three years, I\u2019ve been in a relationship with someone I am so in love with. I mean, he\u2019s not without his faults. He drinks a little too much but it\u2019s fine, I deal with it. Yeah, he pushes me around and hits me sometimes but we love each other and things just get heated. It\u2019s totally fine. I\u2019ve called police many times, they\u2019ve helped out and things go back to normal. Our relationship isn\u2019t perfect but we love each other. In March 2011, a heated argument went too far. I never thought it would happen but the man I trusted so much and loved\u2026he killed me. My name is Denise Skilbeck.
