An app that could save lives: Hollie's family design help for abuse victims

The parents of a murdered young woman from Gloucester have designed a new safety app in her memory to try to prevent other incidents of domestic violence.

Hollie Gazzard was killed by her ex-boyfriend in February last year. Asher Maslin was laterjailed for her murder.

The app - named the Hollie Guard - works by sending an alert to a named emergency contact when the phone is shaken.

Backed by Gloucestershire Police, its other functions include GPS tracking and recording voice and video - for use in possible future court situations.
