MALE DOMESTIC ABUSE VICTIMS SEEN AS ‘UNDER THE THUMB’
21 APRIL 2022
Jose Linnane is working with North Yorkshire Police to raise awareness of male domestic abuse A mother whose son was murdered by his girlfriend has said the domestic abuse of males is all too often dismissed as men just being “under the thumb”. Simon Gilchrist was 23 when Caroline Mawhood stabbed him to death at their flat in York in 2004. His mother, Jose Linnane, said the signs her son was the victim of domestic abuse “didn’t register so much” because he was a man.
Mrs Linnane is now working with police to raise awareness of the issue. Describing how her son had changed during his relationship with Mawhood, Mrs Linnane said: “There was a little spark missing. His phone would go constantly. He didn’t see his friends much.
“At first I thought, that’s natural in a relationship and working full-time, but then it was like he couldn’t do anything. “I noticed a couple of marks on his face. In my stomach it n’t feel right, but he brushed it off.”
“I believe because Simon was male it didn’t register so much.” Mrs Linnane added: “If my daughter had been getting umpteen phone calls, I would’ve said, ‘that’s not right’. Her group of girlfriends would say the same. “But a group of men would say, ‘you’re under the thumb’ and she’d be seen as a nagger.”
