I've just been reading about this case in the Daily Mail today (as reporting restrictions have been lifted).
Not sure if I'm allowed to put a link to the article, but it's a rather surprising state of affairs that ended in Caroline's murder (and the attempted murder of a 15 year old boy at the property).
