The information is held in the Home Office Homicide Index, a detailed record-level dataset on homicides recorded by the police in England and Wales. The Homicide Index is continually updated with revised information from the police as investigations continue and as cases are heard by the courts. Homicide cases are often complex and can take time to reach a conclusion.
