Women who have been killed at the hands of men have been remembered in a moving series of portraits raising money for charity. 

British artist and illustrator Henny Beaumont, from , painted all 118 women who were killed and murdered by men between March 2020 and March 2021, including sisters Sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, who were found stabbed to death in Fryent Country Park in Wembley, north-west London.

Beaumont said she got the idea for the series when MP Jess Phillips named all the women who had been killed from male violence in a passionate speech on on March 8 2020, in the wake of 's murder.   

Everard, who was abducted, raped and killed by police officer Wayne Couzens on March 3 was among the 119 women who were killed by men since Phillips’ similar speech in March 2019. 

Beaumont, who is working with the Centre for Women’s Justice and the Femicide Census, has raised £9.548 for her series so far through her  page, said she wants to make the other women, whose death have been less mediatised, 'visible.’

Here, Henny shares portarits of 12 of the people featured Disappearing Women series, whose lives where dramatically cut short.

Pybus was charged with murder but entered a not guilty plea, which was accepted by the prosecution at Teesside Crown Court in July.He was sentenced to four years and eight months in jail. 

Instead, he admitted 'unlawful killing’ and pleaded guilty to manslaughter during his court appearance, wearing a grey suit and white shirt.

The two knew one another through the Bridges Project, a charity providing free breakfast meals to the homeless community at the church. 

Rifat had had an argument with Ms Stewart’s ex-boyfriend, Henry Donker, and then ‘took it out’ on her because Mr Donker was ‘substantially’ bigger in build. 

On the morning after the attack, pastor Edwin Mbugua-Kibathi noticed her scattered clothing and a blood trail and called police who found Ms Stewart’s body covered in flies.

Prosecutor Charlotte Newel said her injuries were ‘so severe that her skin was sunken into her skull’.

Khan had tried to set them alight to get rid of evidence and make their death seem like an accident. 

He also tried to frame the scene as a murder suicide to make it look like Saman had killed her daughter. 

A post-modern examination concluded that Saman was strangled, possibly with a ligature.  

Khan admitted he was that person, but claimed the mother and daughter were still alive when he left the property. 

At his trial on October 5 this year, prosecution argued that Khan drugged Saman by mixing Diazepam, Rose wine, fruit and a spice into a smoothie.Once she was drugged, and unable to fight back, he had killed her.

Vian returned home from school at around 3.25pm that day, at which point she was also drugged and killed.

’The jury rejected the defence that you were experiencing a psychotic episode but I accept that a mental disorder has affected your life for over 20 years.

’No sentence that this court can pass will replace the experiences Rosemary’s family has been through due to her death.’

When he was released from hospital, he moved to a multi-occupancy house in Eastbourne. 

It is believed Hoadley killed Jackie over money worries, when she refused to sign a financial agreement he crafted to divide their assets.

It is believed he murdered his estranged wife during that two-hour window.  

Prosecution also believed Hoadley drove to the beach to get rid of a pair of scissors which could be the crime’s weapon.

Egal claimed he contracted the coronavirus and had stopped working at the time of the attack, but no evidence was submitted that confirmed his claim. 

He claimed Maryam told him to 'die on the streets’ when he told her he had caught the virus, because she was afraid of getting sick. 

He said he had diminished responsibility because he suffered from paranoid  schizophrenia, however, his medical records showed no history of mental illness.  

Allison Hunter QC, prosecuting, said during the trial: 'Upon his arrival [to the police station] Egal told the officer who opened the van door that he had coronavirus and that the officer should stay away from him.

’He said it was the coronavirus that had made him crazy and kill his wife.He said that when he told his wife she said he could get out and die on the street and that he had said to her ”I will kill you before that” and so he did.

’He stated that it definitely happened that Maryam had stood over him and physically tried to get him out of the property.’

The bus driver also claimed he was 'frightened’ and scared of Maryam but could not remember the specifics of what had happened.
