I’d missed the news that they had actually been charged. I did wonder how quickly that might happen once they started talking to the media. I do wonder if they were left to do that so they would hang themselves in the process. Looks as though that’s exactly what happened along with the fact the...

I suspect he is still very much in denial about it. I actually think he came to believe all his stories. I still feel awful for his boys....looks like at least one of them isn’t in contact with him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Bonkers, totally off their heads. I suspect the police are giving them free reign in the hope they will talk themselves silly and give something away. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

An appeal would not surprise me but I think he would have to have good grounds for the appeal...and I'm not sure he has any. He couldn't have had a better defence barrister than Simon Russell Flint....just the hours spent summing up shows that. Anyhow, my rose and the Lily of the Valley are...

Another nasty domestic abuse one I think. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Today I bought some Lily of the Valley which I think someone said was a flower which Helen liked. I've got a small corner or my little garden which I plant in memory of loved ones and pets. Having lost a much loved cat recently I bought a beautiful rose today named "Faithful Friend" because my...

I didn't know Helen so don't think I can contribute to anything. I am glad she lived, I am glad we have a record of her contribution to the world. My memories are of that work and my impression of an amazing human being. I will keep that inside me, I will let it inspire me and will think...

I suspect she might have been getting DLA. Slowly those who get this are being invited in for face to face assessments. Sounds like no checks had been done for a long time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

...and he only served 15 years of a life sentence. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They need to charge her at the very least with fraud surely? Or is the fact that they don't know exactly when she disappeared preventing that? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I love your writing on this Joely. Am still so sad for Helen and Boris because the conviction was a hollow victory, it doesn't bring them back. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agreed, what an amazing,lady. I think questioning the Catholic Church in Ireland was traditionally very difficult to do. However I don't think it has the hold that it once did and younger Nuns and Priests are much more likely to take up the baton and look for acknowledgment of the wrongs which...

This is a link to the Crimewatch appeal for anyone who hasn't seen it. Yes she was found by the back gate and the bins appear to be further back which seems to suggest she was trying to flee. :-( https://youtu.be/cAGrzg5ATmc Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Was speaking with a relative today who knows someone close to the investigation. Evidently they have been actively looking into Diane's death since September but fairly covertly until the outcome of this trial was known. I suspect we will never know if Diane died as a result of something done...

Thank you for starting the thread Alyce, he has not yet been charged with anything more than falsifying her Will but those injuries which killed her just scream "hatred". I would bet he knows far more/is involved far more than he is saying. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't know how these charades can be stopped. One of my friends is a serving police officer and says they have to have much much more than just sheer suspicion before warrants for searching property and moving stuff about will be granted. He says it is very very frustrating when you know the...

That looks very odd indeed. Yes he's been charged with falsifying her Will but there could be more. What a horrible brutal death. She needs a WS thread of her own. Apparently they've made multiple arrests but not got there yet. ETA that if I can work out how..from an iPad ...I will start a...

I love that little devil gif. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So wish people wouldn't give dogs away, poor little dog could end up anywhere. If I was nearer I would go and get him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Oh Alyce, that article is just what I needed to read. I am delighted too to find that Helen loved Elizabeth Gilbert and Brene Brown who are both people I adore in print and in talks. I got a real sense of how lovely Helen was from the article and it didn't surprise me either. Lovely how she...
