Fiona Pilkington and her daughter Francecca Hardwick died after years of abuse A report into police actions over a Leicestershire mother who killed herself and her disabled daughter after years of abuse is due to be published.
Fiona Pilkington and Francecca Hardwick died in a burning car in October 2007.
An Independent Police Complaints Commission investigation began after it emerged Ms Pilkington had called police 33 times about attacks and taunts.
The case has lead to a review of the way police forces deal with targeted anti-social behaviour.
Single mother Ms Pilkington’s home in Barwell, Leicestershire, was the focus of attacks by groups of up to 16 youngsters, with stones, eggs and flour thrown at the property.
The 38-year-old killed herself and her 18-year-old daughter by pouring petrol over their car in a lay-by on the A47 in Earl Shilton.
Incidents were reported over a 10-year period but the family only received eight visits from officers, the 2009 inquest heard.
Leicestershire Police admitted many of Ms Pilkington’s calls were not linked and were classified as anti-social behaviour rather than crime.
The inquest jury returned verdicts of suicide and unlawful killing, and said the response of the police and two local councils had contributed to the deaths.
The force, along with the county council and Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, are facing legal action from the family.
The case of their deaths has been raised in the House of Commons several times.
Earlier this month Home Office Minister James Brokenshire insisted that making changes to policing so such a case would never be repeated was a priority for the government.
In January eight police forces began a pilot project to identify and protect victims of repeated anti-social behaviour more quickly.
It is focused on creating more effective call-handling and improving information-sharing between the police and other agencies like social services.
Leicestershire Police said changes had already been made in the force in the years since Ms Pilkington and her daughter died.
The IPCC report is due to be published at 1000 BST.
