Jodine Brown, brutally killed 20 years ago
July 18, 1997
Jodine Brown was beaten, drugged and strangled in her home in a murder which rocked Birmingham over two decades ago.
The 17-year-old's battered, decomposing body was found covered in a duvet on her bedroom floor in Sant Road, West Heath.
Her mother Eileen made the grisly discovery when she returned home from a four-day break.

The former Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School pupil had been drugged, struck over the head and strangled.''

'Dr West told the inquest a large, but not fatal, amount of drugs used for the treatment of colds was found in the teenager’s body.'

'Ligature marks around the neck were caused by a chain or narrow cord, and bruising on her hands could have been caused by someone grasping her.'

"Jodine’s horrific murder took place just a mile away from Overbury Close, Northfield, where a family of three had been found viciously stabbed to death almost five years earlier.''
 
''Neighbour Mrs Susan Petford said she heard an argument at the Browns' home four days before the discovery of Jodine's body on July 14.

"I heard screaming. It was a female voice shouting 'leave me alone, that hurts, get off'," she said.

Mrs Petford told her husband: "It sounds like murder next door."

Jodine's mother, Mrs Eileen Brown, said her daughter became withdrawn and moody following the death of her father a year earlier.

When Mrs Brown found a new boyfriend, Jodine would not accept him. Mrs Brown admitted having an argument with her daughter on July 14 but she denied there were any blows.

Mrs Brown said a few hours after the row she changed the front door locks to keep an ex-boyfriend away and then left to help her other daughter, Donna, move house.

Jodine was planning to marry her boyfriend, Mr Phil Luckman, who was then aged 23, on his release from prison the following month.''
