She was old school and left her doors unlocked. Oh Ann.

Who the hell drives all that way to bludgeon an old lady with a hammer and then drives back.

What would have happened if he had arrived when she was on the scheduled zoom call

LuckyHazelFox · 21/07/2026 15:33

Fucking men, as usual.

Horrible to read of her brutal end as she sat in her kitchen. Poor Anne.

Poor woman, absolutely horrific.

Has he only been charged with murder, not the other potential charges he was arrested for?

He’s been charged with one count of murder, nothing else and the police have said they will not be commenting further unless new evidence about a motive comes to light.

Horrible. What a bastard. Poor Ann.

EasternStandard · 21/07/2026 15:24

I’m so sorry this happened to Ann. Just absolutely horrendous.

Anjo2011 · 21/07/2026 15:19

Absolute evil. Poor Ann, she didn’t deserve that. Just hideous.

LuckyHazelFox · 21/07/2026 15:19

Speechless really ladies. We all worry about men coming at us one way or another. When we are on our own what are we meant to do against a bloke with a hammer. This is the Russell family all over again.

We only have to hope after the second blow she knew nothing about it. I'm shaking.

I agree. She was too trusting leaving the door open. But she could never have imagined this horrible scenario. 💐 RIP

Same. It’s beyond horrific. So brave, a 28 year old able bodied male, attacking a 78 year old female (apparently whilst having lunch), and hitting her on the head repeatedly with a hammer, all in the name of ideology.

The absolute BEST of the be kind brigade, who think they are righteous absolutists and that therefore violence is justified against anyone who thinks otherwise, because those others are bad people. They have to be bad right, because the righteous are good. Unbelievable, the state of this nation.

LuckyHazelFox · 21/07/2026 15:14

I think we the disagreements we have with politics, we can all come together on this.

This is absolutely horrific, she must have been absolutely terrified, poor poor woman, bludgeoned 21 times with a hammer whilst in your own kitchen, death doesn’t get much worse than that, what hate filled rage must he have been in to do that 21 times.

Growlybear83 · 21/07/2026 15:12

It’s just too terrible to contemplate, isn’t it. What a horrendous way for anyone to die.

Just goes to show that evil people don’t always look that way.

Pinksalamanda · 21/07/2026 15:05

I just read the same. It's unthinkable really. What an awful death.

He has now been charged and will appear in court tomorrow. They are still investigating the motive.
Sorry - link has failed to materialise, but I read it on the BBC News app.

Edited

Just saw this too. I’m not sure why his name was released prior to charge but I assume it was legally ok.
