Angie’s family released a heartfelt statement:
- “Angie was a cherished daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and auntie with a zest for life.”
- “She was close to completing a Humanities degree, aiming to help others.”
- “We will miss her silly giggle forever.”
- “We thank family, friends, the public, and South Wales Police for their unwavering support.”
The family criticised Daniel White’s manipulative behaviour throughout the case. They said he delayed justice with excuses and court no-shows, even skipping his own sentencing. “His cowardice shows he still tries to control and avoid facing the consequences,” the family said.
They urged authorities to review how Daniel White was monitored post-prison and ask how he was allowed to harm Angie. “We need to know how someone so evil was freed to torture and kill her,” they demanded.
