Killings are lowest in 20 years, overall crime and violent crime are down

The number of murders and manslaughters has dropped by 17% to a 20-year low of 648, the annual crime figures for England and Wales show.

There were 136 fewer killings in 2008/9 compared with a year earlier, according to the Home Office figures.

Theft-related crime has risen in the last year, with domestic burglary up by 1% and shoplifting rising by 10%.

But overall crime is down by 5% and violent crime has fallen by 6%, and gun crime has seen a 17% fall.
