In June 2018, Christine Lyons was found guilty of the murder and attempted murder of Samantha Kelly. Ronald Lyons was found guilty of attempted murder and assisting an offender. At the sentencing, Christine Lyons’ lawyer argued his client had below-average intelligence and a hard upbringing, which should be taken into account. But Samantha Kelly’s mother Vivienne made an impassioned plea to the court. She said of Christine Lyons: ‘You have stolen the life of my beautiful daughter. I will never forgive you for what you’ve done to my family… I hope Samantha haunts you until the day you die.’ The judge agreed Christine Lyons was ‘involved in the administration of each stage’. He added, ‘You sought to rob an innocent woman of her children so you could take them as…

Dear Demi-Leigh, Watching our prime minister announce a nationwide lockdown, I couldn’t have predicted how much everything was about to change. Before the coronavirus pandemic, I’d had a busy, fulfilling life. Living in Sherdley Court residential home in Prescot, there was always something going on. Watching Strictly Come Dancing with my friends or out to the cinema or garden centres. Weekends were spent visiting my sister Christine, 66, or my daughter Stephanie, 35. We weren’t allowed out of the home, nobody could visit Then, suddenly, we weren’t allowed out of the home, nobody could visit. We even had to stay in our rooms for 14 days when one of the other residents was diagnosed with COVID-19. I was terrified about getting it myself. See, I’d had womb cancer 11 years…

Sitting in class, I stared at the E grade circled at the top of the paper in front of me. Just the latest in a series of disappointing marks. I’d never been a high achiever at school. No matter how hard I tried, I struggled to concentrate and understand lessons. I found it hard to make friends. The other kids would stare as I dragged my leg My strange physical quirks didn’t help either. See, my left leg was three-quarters of an inch shorter than my right and I had little muscle tone. And the other kids would stare as I dragged my leg across the playground. Back home, I never spoke to my parents about how I felt different from the other kids. Mum would insist I did leg-strengthening…

Arecent study has found that putting the lid down after using the toilet and before flushing could help stop the spread of COVID-19.* This is because the virus is still present in faeces weeks after symptoms have disappeared, and flushing kicks 60% of infectious particles 1m above the water of an uncovered loo. Scientists say the virus can then directly infect another person or settle on a nearby surface, such as a door handle. A previous study has found that virus particles in the faeces of COVID-19 patients are present nearly five weeks after patients tested negative.** So, if you’re sharing a bathroom with others or visit a public toilet, remember to always close that lid before you flush. surprising… STAT 61% Since lockdown, 61% of Brits have bought fitness…

LONE GUNMAN Robert Sartin was 22 when, on 30 April 1989, he took his father’s shotgun and fired at random at people in nearby gardens, houses and passing cars in Monkseaton, near Whitley Bay, North Tyneside. One died and 16 were injured. In 1990, Sartin was charged with one count of murder and 16 of attempted murder, and pleaded not guilty. Deemed to be suffering from a schizophrenic illness so severe that he has never been fit enough to face trial, he is detained indefinitely at Ashworth Hospital, Liverpool. HILLSBOROUGH TRAGEDY On 15 April 1989, Liverpool FC were scheduled to play Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield. Shortly before kick-off, an exit gate at the stadium was opened in a bid to ease overcrowding…

He wants me back Q Recently, I found out my husband was having an affair. I asked him to choose – her or me – and was devastated when he left. Since then, I’ve met a man and fallen in love. But now my husband wants me back, though he’s still with the other woman. I’m happy with my lover, but long for the relationship I had with my husband. He’s my best friend…but I don’t know if I can trust him. Angie, 51 A Your husband isn’t your best friend. And it’s early days to be sure you’re in a relationship where you’re in love.

Taking a deep breath, I asked Tom for the bad news. ‘Well it’s bad news for me,’ he laughed. ‘Because you know I hate needles.’ Wait, does he mean..? ‘Well, what’s the good news then?’ I asked. I asked. ‘I’m a 100% match for you!’ he said eventually. I was deliriously happy, tears stinging my eyes. ‘Thank you!’ I screamed. Rushing to tell Stevie, I couldn’t believe what an incredible gift my brother was giving me. I was deliriously happy, tears stinging my eyes Soon, the transplant was scheduled for late January 2018. All sorts of pre-testing followed to make sure I was healthy enough for the op. And Tom had to try to get over his phobia After he’d made the donation, spending five hours on a drip, I…

Be gentle A good hair-care routine is important. When drying after washing, wrap your hair in a towel instead of vigorously rubbing it and use a wide-tooth comb to detangle. Try The Wet Brush Pro Detangling Comb, £8.99. Feed growth Hair is one of the last systems in your body to receive nutrients as it is one of the least essential, so if your body is not receiving adequate nutrients, your hair will likely be affected. Eating a diet that is rich in fresh vegetables, meat and fruit supports healthy growth. Fight stress flakes Stress can weaken your body’s defences against naturally existing microbes in the scalp, which will lead to dryness and flakiness. You may also have increased dandruff outbreak when stressed, so I’d recommend using Nizoral Dandruff Shampoo,…

Watching my mum Jenny, then 73, beam with joy as I handed over my newborn son Lewis, I felt a pang of sadness. ‘It’s your first grandchild!’ I said, tears in my eyes. It was July 2016 and Mum and my dad John, then 70, were the first visitors to the Maternity ward. Mum gazed at baby Lewis with pure love. But as we chatted afterwards, we had the same conversation several times over, within the space of a few minutes. Truth was, the woman sitting in front of me wasn’t the Mum I’d always known. A year earlier, she’d become withdrawn and forgetful. ‘I think something might be wrong,’ I told my fiancé Paul, then 40. ‘Perhaps she’s just getting on a bit,’ he reassured me. But even now,…

Gradually waking up from the anaesthetic, I felt so groggy. My boyfriend Rick, then 38, was by my side. And soon, a doctor came to see us. ‘I’ve never seen anything like it,’ he said. ‘Possibly the worst case of endometriosis I’ve ever come across.’ It was February 2017, and this was the first time I knew I had this condition. Fighting sepsis, I barely had time to grieve Sure, in the past few months my periods would leave me doubled over in pain. But I partly put that down to the onslaught of surgeries I’d had in recent years. Procedures to remove abnormal cells found in a smear test. Medications for my polycystic ovaries. And an operation to remove my cervix, too. I’d been through a lot. I already…

Time of the month side effects Q I dread starting my period because it often brings yet another cold sore! What’s wrong? Lisa, Otley A A cold sore is an infection with herpes simplex virus, usually on your lip. You probably caught the infection as a child or young adult, but the virus has lain dormant and now flares as a cold sore, often following a trigger, such as stress. Periods are a common trigger, probably due to the effects of hormones on your immune system. After starting as a tingle or itch, a blister appears which bursts and scabs after a couple of days, disappearing within 10 days. Anti-viral cream from your chemist should speed recovery, provided you apply it early. Remember not to kiss (especially babies), have oral…

The TV was on in the background but neither me or my best mate Sam, then 49, were paying attention. Nattering away on the sofa, we were making the most of our all-too-rare meet-ups. We’d been friends since being at college together. But now, all grown-up, with our husbands, children and full-time jobs, get-togethers were so hard to schedule. ‘Let’s capture the moment,’ Sam said, reaching for her phone. ‘Say cheese!’ Before I could dive for cover, she’d snapped a selfie of the pair of us. No! When Sam turned the screen round to show me the photo, I cringed. ‘I look like Jabba the Hutt,’ I groaned. ‘Don’t be daft,’ she replied. But I knew Sam was just being kind. Ever since I had my kids, Huw, then 17,…

Q What skincare is best for runners? Tina Le, 41, Brighton A Running is great for your skin, it raises heart rate and boosts blood flow to deliver nutrients and carry away toxins. It can also reduce cortisol, the stress hormone that triggers oil overproduction. The main thing to remember is sun protection. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Pocket Sun Cream, £7.50, is weightless and noncomedogenic (non pore clogging). Try to wash your face after running so sweat can’t dry and build up on the skin. Gallinée Foaming Facial Cleanser, £14, is refreshing. If you are prone to post-run flushing, try a soothing mist. Pretty Athletic Workout Glow Hyaluronic Vitamin Tonic, £17.50, calms and hydrates skin. Keep it in the fridge and it’ll be a cool treat, too.…
