Fathers Who KillThursday 10 April 2003
In the last two weeks there have been two high profile cases of fathers who killed their children after splitting up with their wives.

But is it possible to do more to protect children and to predict which men are likely to kill? There's to be a major legal review to see if more can be done - and calls for men with a history of violence be denied contact with their children unless they can prove it would be safe.
Sandra Gidley MP, member of the all-party parliamentary domestic violence group and Dr Chris Milroy, Forensic pathologist from the University of Sheffield join Jenni to discuss how this law can be enforced.
