Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine draws attention to the recent deaths of two Western women allegedly killed by migrant men they had befriended or become involved with, arguing that the pattern deserves wider public discussion despite the sensitivity of the topic. She cites American Jamey Carney, found dead in Killarney, Ireland, and British aid volunteer Elisabeth-Jane Ross, killed in Athens, as recent examples, framing both as women whose sympathy towards migrants preceded their deaths.

Carney, 43, was found suffocated by her 13-year-old daughter on 7 July after becoming engaged to a Jordanian man she met at a pro-Palestinian protest; he fled to Jordan, where he is under arrest but not yet charged, and Irish authorities are seeking his return. Ross, 38, a Christian charity volunteer helping refugees in Athens, was allegedly killed by a 26-year-old Afghan man who admitted dumping her body in a suitcase and used her bank cards and social media to fake her continued presence. Vine also references the 2024 murder of Rhiannon Skye White by a Sudanese national in Walsall, while acknowledging that violence against women is not confined to migrant perpetrators, citing British ex-soldier Kyle Clifford's murder of his girlfriend Louise Hunt.
