A desperate woman repeatedly made emergency calls begging police to help her before she and her mum were stabbed to death by her ex-husband.
The chilling 999 phone calls revealed the harrowing lead-up to Raneem Oudeh 's brutal killing at the hands of her ex-husband Janbaz Tarin in 2018..
An inquest has now found that police failed the victims after Raneem made multiple 999 calls over weeks after being attacked by Tarin.
She told 999 call operators that she was concerned for the safety of herself, her mother and her baby as she said that Tarin was "dangerous" and "might just get a knife".
The 22-year-old was stabbed to death outside her family's home in Solihull, West Midlands.
Her mum, Khaola Saleem, 49, was also knifed to death by the killer.
Police have been blamed for "multiple failings" as a coroner played the distressing calls to the jury during the inquest, BirminghamLive reports.
In one of the 999 calls, a terrified Raneem pleaded on the phone for her ex-husband to be arrested, expressing concern that he might harm her or her baby - but officers didn't turn up.
A 999 call handler said: "You want to see the officers tomorrow instead?"
Raneem replied, saying: "Yeah, yeah, please, but today he should be arrested. I can't just, you know, I have a baby with me, I have two and a half-year-old child, he might hurt me or hurt the child.
"He's just really dangerous, he's drunk as well and he might just get a knife or something and do something to us."
In another call, Raneem told a call handler how despite making numerous after being attacked by Tarin, police still hadn't seen her.
She could be heard saying: "Actually I've called the fourth time to ask about the police.
"I'm waiting for them to come to my property regarding my ex-partner, he came and he hit me, he actually harmed me and my mum as well.
"So I waited so long, and I'm waiting in the car so..."
In one call Raneem was told that officers had turned up on one occasion, but that she had left after waiting for them for two hours.
The call handler said: "Ok, well we went to the location but obviously you left and went home so we're gonna have to wait until there's another officer free."
BirminghamLive previously reported that West Midlands Police had assigned Raneem's case to a "diary car" and this meant that an officer was not immediately sent to see her.
Tarin was arrested by police days after the murders of Raneem and Khaola, he was handed a life sentence in 2018 and was ordered to serve a minimum of 32 years behind bars.
Because the family had contacted the police before the double murder, the case was then referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
Today the inquest concluded that multiple failures by West Midlands Police "materially contributed" to the women's deaths.
Mrs Saleem's daughter, Kinaan, 19, was babysitting Raneem's son when she witnessed the murder aged just 14 and said it had been "really hard to deal with".
She told Sky News : "It's just really hard to cope, from the first call to a police officer it could have been prevented.
"Knowing that she actually cried for help and begged for them and they did not come at all."
