This has been a harrowing case for everyone involved and the right result has been achieved today. The result won’t provide closure or solace for Renee’s family, but it is important for everyone that they have answers and that the offender has been held to account. Renee’s family would like everyone to remember her as a much loved daughter, sister, cousin, granddaughter and aunty - she will always remain a much loved part of the family. Renee's family would also like to thank Victim Support (in particular Deb), the Crown prosecution team and Police, and members of the public who assisted with evidence in the case - notably those who were first on the scene and found Renee.
