The Home Office Homicide Index holds information on the relationship between homicide victims and suspects, including partner/ex-partner.

The Office for National Statistics publishes such information and the latest statistics on the number of men aged 16 and over killed by a partner/ex-partner in England and Wales were published in Homicide in England and Wales: year ending March 2017, in Appendix Table 9, available here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/appendixtableshomicideinenglandandwales
