How a Risk Miscalculation Led to Tragedy | Australia News

A Sydney inquest into the December 2022 murder of Dannielle Finlay-Jones by Ashley Gaddie is exposing critical failures in domestic violence risk assessments. The pair met on a dating app, and she was killed on their third date. Gaddie, with a documented history of abuse and multiple apprehended violence orders, was incorrectly assessed as low risk — a miscalculation stemming from overlooked prior offenses and a single virtual interview due to pandemic restrictions. Loved ones are pushing for urgent reforms to NSW’s domestic violence and bail systems to prevent future tragedies, as the inquest continues to uncover systemic gaps that may have cost a life.
