I've just donated, Kelvyn. It was an excellent choice of charity to support in memory of your Mum.
I was involved in the early days of Women's Aid and helped set up and run a refuge in the London borough I was living in. I'm really sorry your Mum didn't benefit from the support they can provide.
Hi Everyone,
I've been absent for a while - took some time - used the van! & got my head together. Thank you for the PM's donations & messages of encouragement.
The trial has now been set for July 19th - whilst this will be unpleasant it's the last 'hurdle' & hopefully will bring closure. My brother & I can then concentrate on the fund raising - prior to the trial the CPS were/are genuinely concerned that we'll "garner sympathy" and may affect an outcome!
Having re-read this post I'm still overwhelmed by the kind thoughts and words - they were & are of great comfort.
I'd like to ask the mods to close this thread - & I'll put future updates on the charity post at
In Memory of Mum
Hi All,
I've just been sending 'Thank You's' for donations & realised that I'd never actually put the outcome of the trial on here.
On July 27th my Mum's husband was found guilty of her murder. The jury took 75 minutes (including the lunch break) to return a unanimous verdict. In his sentencing the judge particularly pointed to the fact that he had lied (changed his story every day of the trial), shown no remorse (I don't think he ever said my Mums name) & took into account the horrific nature of her injuries. He was sentenced to life with no chance of parole for a minimum of 23 years, unusually he was also made to pay the prosecution costs due to the lies he told.
For my family & I this has been an emotional rollercoaster - sitting in the court we heard things that no-one should ever here, I even felt sorry for the juror's.
It doesn't bring Mum back, but it does restore a little faith in the system. The Police, CPS & Judge were all professional, respectful and very keen to ensure the right result.
