Now that Grace Millane’s killer has been found guilty of murder, I feel able to say what has concerned me throughout his trial.
I have read the daily reports of this horrendous event and been increasingly horrified. As in most trials of this nature, the poor victim’s life has been dissected and analysed, her sexual preferences scrutinised and previous boyfriend called to give evidence.
I feel so sorry for her poor family, obviously having to cope with the loss of their daughter, but compounded by having her personal life aired to the world.
All of this time her murderer’s identity was not disclosed and if he had been found ‘not guilty’ then presumably he would still be anonymous and unsullied.
Poor Mr and Mrs Millane attended every day of this trial. May the guilty verdict enable them to grieve and begin to heal.
