Summary
In 2018, the seaside town of Filey was left reeling by the shocking death of 70-year-old Dianne Williamson. A devoted mother and grandmother, she was well-known for her kindness and the love she held for her family.
But behind the warmth she showed to those around her, Dianne’s life had been overshadowed by years of difficulty within her long-term relationship. What unfolded that year was a tragedy that could not have been foreseen by those who cared for her most.
The case brought painful questions to the surface - about loyalty, silence, and the devastating reality of domestic abuse. It also served as a stark reminder that sometimes the people most at risk are those we assume are safe.
If you’re experiencing domestic abuse and feel frightened of, or controlled by, a partner, an ex-partner or family member, it’s important to remember that it’s not your fault and there is no shame in seeking help.
