A British police commissioner resigned on Thursday over his comment about the murder of a woman in the hands of a then-serving police officer.

Philip Allott, the resigned police, fire, and crime commissioner (PCC) for North Yorkshire who was accused of victim-blaming, apologised again for his comment, saying he “misspoke” and was “devastated” by the impact of his words.
