Family Pleads for Privacy Amid Tragic Loss
“Mum – Ruth – was a wonderful, loving woman and her loss, under such dreadful circumstances, leaves a gap in our lives that will never be filled,” the family said.
“She was a mother, a daughter, a sister, well known, loved and respected by us and her circle of friends in Bognor and beyond. We ask that we be permitted to grieve in privacy and that justice for mum be allowed to take place in the proper way.”
