Doctor should've warned Joanne of boyfriend violence

A WOMAN who was killed by her boyfriend should have been told he could be a threat, an inquiry heard.

James Kennedy, 37, struck up a relationship with Joanne Gallacher, 33, after the pair met during psychiatric treatment at Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride.

He later inflicted 57 wounds on her during a frenzied attack at his home in Biggar, Lanarkshire, in December 2018.

A fatal accident inquiry heard Gallacher should have been warned by medics about his risk of violence in the lead up to her death.
