A South Australian woman who was repeatedly the victim of domestic violence had her case file closed in the months before she was killed, a coroner has heard.
Kumarana May, 23, was fatally stabbed in the small Indigenous community of Yalata, in the state's west, in May 2015.
At an inquest into her death today, the court heard Ms May's case was closed, despite a support worker's concern that she would be hurt or killed.
