We drove past the place and didn't even realise, but it was on the Wales news later..
Evidently a body was found in a chest freezer of a house after her Dr asked the police to do a welfare check on her. It wasn't known how or when Sylvia Philips' 89, had died.
Her son was charged with preventing the lawful and decent burial also with fraud having claimed her benefits.
His case is in the being heard today 16th April in the Cardiff Courts.
We actually drove past the road, where the police were finding the body without our realising!
How can someone do that their own mother? Money of course, how awful. You just don't know what's happening in the town where you live sometimes, do you.

Shocking, but it shows how desperate some people can be.
ReplyDeleteQuite unnerving being so close. There was a body in a suitcase in the river here, father and daughter murdered the mother, unfortunately for them the suitcase didn't sink tho it was weighed down with tiles. The police matched up the tiles with the bathroom tiles of the suspects.
ReplyDeleteIt's really sad. How can money mean that much?
ReplyDeleteOne time we drove past where the police were picking up a dead body on the side of the road. Definitely, not a common occurrence here. The theory is that the man was killed elsewhere and dumped there. An unsettling thing to see, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteUnhappily, I have read of these kind of terrible happenings over here. Usually they want to keep on getting the retirement funds their parents were receiving, after living a true hard working life.
ReplyDeleteThere was a similar case near us a few years ago, but it turned out that the person had died of natural causes. The family had panicked and left the body lying in bed in the house they shared for a considerable time. It doesn't bear thinking about.
ReplyDeleteThat is really creepy!!
ReplyDeleteThat is both shocking and sad.
