Murder of women and girls, shocking 38% higher in England & Wales

From National Statistics for Scotland, today:

In 2022-2023, there were 13 female homicide victims in Scotland.

In England & Wales, in 2021-2022 (latest figures) there were 198 female homicide victims.

England & Wales have 11 times the population and so, all things being equal, might have been expected to have 143 cases but had 198, 38.4% more.
