A South Australian watchlist tracking domestic violence abusers has swollen by 2,000 names in 17 months - with one man named by 14 different women.
The database lists the names of almost 6,300 men, who have been reported by alleged victims who have presented at domestic violence services across the state.
More than 1,700 of the alleged abusers have had multiple victims, while more than 1,800 are alleged to have been involved in multiple incidents.
The shocking figures come after three people were victims of horrific domestic violence murders in South Australia last week, including a nine-month-old baby girl.
Kobi Shepherdson died after her father Henry plunged the pair off the Whispering Wall dam walkway in the Barossa Valley in an apparent murder-suicide.
It s hard to look at photographs of nine-month-old Kobi Shepherdson.
Those big, blue eyes. The wide smile. The crop of strawberry blonde hair, barely long enough to be gathered up into a little bow.
It s hard to look because it means thinking about her death.
It means thinking about the fact that her own father was legally allowed to be alone with her that day, despite having a history of domestic violence and having recently faced charges of threatening to kill her.
It means thinking about the fact that he bundled her into a baby carrier, took her to the towering Whispering Wall at Barossa Reservoir, and ended both their lives.
Dad who portrayed himself as a knockabout Aussie had a history of violence, loved guns and threatened to KILL his baby before he plunged off the Whispering Wall. so why WAS he ever allowed to be alone with beautiful, innocent Kobi?
