The sister of a Perth woman murdered by her ex-husband in 2022 claims the family of the Floreat killer were failed by police, saying her family went through “the same situation”.
The sister of a Perth woman murdered by her ex-husband in 2022 says she is sick of hearing the police in damage control, claiming her family was failed by authorities in similar circumstances to the wife and daughter of double-murderer Mark Bombara.Paul Cannon, 55, stabbed his ex-wife Lynn, 51, to death in their Landsdale home in Perth’s northern suburbs after sending her threatening texts in the days and months prior.
Like Cannon’s death, another internal police investigation has now been launched to determine what police could have done better to protect the community from Bombara – a 63-year-old land developer with no criminal record.WA Police commissioner Col Blanch said police only spoke with Bombara on one occasion in April in the context for arranging a police escort for his wife and daughter to collect their belongings from the family’s Mosman Park home.
A family violence restraining order triggers a removal of licensed firearms, of which Bombara legally owned 13.The double-murder suicide has also triggered a last-minute rush for amendments to be made to WA’s gun law reforms to give police powers to remove guns for firearm licence holders at the first sign of an acrimonious marriage breakup.
