Summary

In this episode, I tell the story of Nicola Edgington, Marion Edgington and Sally Hodkin.

On November 4, 2005, 25-year-old Nicola Edgington stabbed her 60-year-old mum Marion to death.

After pleading guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility in October 2006, Nicola was detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.

In September 2009, Nicola was discharged to a housing association self-contained flat.

On October 10, 2011, Nicola repeatedly spoke with emergency services personnel in an attempt to get herself sectioned.

Later that day, she purchased a knife from ASDA and unsuccessfully attempted to murder 22-year-old Kerry Clark with it.

She then stole a knife from a butcher's shop and stabbed and killed 58-year-old Sally Hodkin, whom Nicola had chosen to attack randomly.

Judge Brian Barker handed Nicola Edgington a life sentence with a minimum term of 37 years on March 4, 2013.

Len Hodkin, Sally's son, is the chairperson of the UK charity Hundred Families. You can find out more about Hundred Families here:
