Lynn Cannon, an adored Perth mother of two, was brutally murdered by her ex husband Paul Cannon in late 2022.


The day before she was murdered, Paul learned she was in a new relationship.


Under false pretences, he convinced her to come to his house the next day. An argument escalated, prompting neighbours to call the police.


Despite multiple calls to 000, police took an hour and 15 minutes to arrive.


Lynn was an adored mother, daughter, sister and friend. Her loved ones are now taking action to ensure police response times for domestic violence calls never take that long again, with their proposed law: Lynn's Law.
