<p>A mother-of-two strangled to death by her convicted murderer ex-boyfriend was failed by police and legislators, a watchdog has said.</p>
<p>Maria Stubbings, 50, was murdered by Marc Chivers at her home in Chelmsford, Essex, in December 2008.</p>
<p>He had been freed from a German prison less than a year earlier after serving 15 years for murdering his then girlfriend Sabine Rappold.</p>
<p>The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said a gap in the law meant no restrictions were placed on Chivers when he was deported to Britain.</p>
<p>The watchdog also tore into &#8220;serious failures&#8221; in the response of Essex Police after Miss Stubbings contacted them for help.</p>
<p>It found human error, missed opportunities and individual failures meant officers and staff failed to protect the vulnerable woman.</p>
<p>The IPCC called on the Government to close the legal loophole and said Essex Police must review how it handles calls from victims of domestic violence.</p>
<p>Miss Stubbings&#8217; brother Manuel Fernandez said he is &#8220;outraged and utterly disappointed&#8221; by the IPCC inquiry. He said a few &#8220;tickings off&#8221; and an appeal to change the law &#8220;does not cut it&#8221; and he will sue Essex Police.</p>
<p>Mr Fernandez said: &#8220;Today I am presented with a report which fails to recognise fully the countless errors the police made &#8211; it is scant in detail to say the least.</p>
<p>&#8220;I question the time the investigation took, and the capabilities of those conducting it, not to mention the cost to the public purse, for a report which is weak and vague. It is nothing less than an insult to my dead sister.&#8221;</p>
