Lives at risk as SA Government stalls on domestic violence offender register The alleged killer's reaction minutes after the fatal stabbing of his wife caught on CCTV. A STATE Government failure to act on a Coroner's recommendation to establish a list of repeat domestic violence offenders is putting victims" lives at risk, campaigners say. The Government recommitted to a centralised database of offenders in last September last year but the register is still not operational and welfare officials admit they have "no idea" how many offenders might eventually be on the list. The admissions come on the eve of State Coroner Mark Johns opening an inquest into the domestic-related murder of mother-of-three Zarah Abrahimzadeh , who was stabbed to death by her estranged husband Zialloh in front of horrified onlookers at the Adelaide Convention Centre in March 2010. Campaigners say the Government needs to urgently adopt the key recommendation made in January 2011 by Deputy State Coroner Anthony Schapel in his findings into a 2009 domestic murder. In a report tabled in Parliament on September 18, 2012, the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion agreed services would develop a perpetrator database containing information about serial or repeat domestic violence perpetrators. Such information was supposed to be shared with police if the person breached bail or had a firearm. Zahra Abrahimzadeh was stabbed to death by her husband at the Adelaide Convention Centre in 2010. TELL US: What else needs to be done about domestic violence? Officials now say they are still "working towards"" establishing the centralised database. They also concede they do not know how many offenders might now be on individual registers held by various domestic shelters, or who they are. With Love & Lipstick founder Bonnie Stewart, whose not-for-profit organisation With Love & Lipstick raises awareness of domestic violence, said the register was vital for past and future victims. These people who have perpetrated and done the wrong thing need to be on a system otherwise how else is anyone going to know what they've done before? Ms Stewart said. It could help future victims, but it would also give peace of mind to these women knowing that step has been taken ... they need to be made accountable for their actions.

Part of the idea behind the database was to share information so serial offenders could be identified and police intervene before situations escalated into incidents. More: Lack of domestic violence offender database "a danger" Homicide Victim Support Group South Australia founder Lynette Nitschke said the failure to implement the register put the lives of current domestic violence victims at risk. "I think it's really important for all of the agencies that deal with crime to have some sort of contact so that offenders are more easily kept track of and so that it's easy for police to have access to a common register," Ms Nitschke said. I just think the Government has to get this happening because every life is important and the quicker we can start saving lives by making this information more accessible, the better. Arman, Anita and Atena Abrahimzadeh arrive at court during the trial of their father. When asked what had happened with the register, Communities Minister Tony Piccolo said in a statement that individual domestic violence services maintained perpetrator databases. "The information in the database is used to inform the risk assessment when a person presents at a service," he said. Information sharing between agencies and services is critical to supporting the safety of individuals and families ­experiencing domestic violence. Mr Piccolo diverted questions about how many people were on individual databases to executive director of the Central Domestic Violence Service Maria Hagias. "It has only just begun and we hope to have a broader centralised service in the near future," she said. The family of Zahra Abrahimzadeh speak to waiting media after their father was sentenced to 26 years for her stabbing murder. At the moment there is nowhere to find out how many people are on the register of alleged perpetrators - there is no way to find out of the extent of the numbers, I have no idea. But I can say one in three women will experience a form of violence so you can draw your own numbers. Latest crime statistics show there were 1754 people were arrested in South Australia for domestic violence-related assaults in the 2010-11 financial year., a number which had risen steadily each year from 1143 in 2006-07.
