Summary
Born deaf; attended several special schools throughout Wales, the last being the residential Ashgrove Special School for Deaf Children in Penarth, which she left at age 17 without graduating. She was found in her apartment, stabbed to death. One of her deaf lovers, Timothy Jack Robson (q.v.), an adulterer cheating on his wife, was eventually arrested, convicted of her murder, and sentenced to life imprisonment, but not until after 3 years, 4 trials, and 2 appeals. He was finally convicted by DNA evidence in 1992, though some people both in and out of the local Deaf community remain unconvinced.
