IWAS so saddened to read of the horrible way that murder victim Angela Heyes met her death.

But I was absolutely sickened to read the "obituary" given to this young woman by her own mother and sister (LET, January 17).

Prostitute, sex-mad, whatever - no-one deserves to be murdered and discarded. This was a human life. Reading your report on her life it was evident that, even as a child, the girl had serious behavioural problems.

How a mother and sister can speak out in such a manner upon the bizarre killing of this young woman appals me.

I would have kept quiet, and let Angela hopefully find the peace which, if we are to believe these reports, had sadly eluded her in her relatively short life.
