They're much harder to prosecute. Louise Woodward is but one example.

jdm is right.

You do not see media reports of these crimes, because there is not much reaction to family murders. The extremes of the Yates case got attention.

In Britain, the most likely victim of a murder is a baby less than 6 months old. Rarely will the killer serve a long sentence - it is defined as a result of their state of mind.
