As of today I have ridden for 276 women murdered by men they knew. On Saturday 7th September 2019 at 1pm, just for one occasion, I have asked women of the UK and around the world to ride with me to honour the women murdered by men they knew since the beginning of 2016. Small groups of women will be meeting other women to ride together in locations around the UK. I will ride in London with a group of fantastic women including Karen Ingala Smith who began the project ‘Counting Dead Women’ which inspires these rides.
Each woman will be wearing a
red t shirt or jacket to represent the blood of the women killed by men. The ride is for women only and over the age of 18. There will be no men.
Some women will ride on
exercise bikes in their own homes. Some women may use wheelchairs. Some women
will ride alone in locations where there aren’t other women they can join with.
Some women will ride in other countries as far away as Australia. Please join
us if you have a bike. Ride at the same time. Feel free to carry one woman’s
name from the list below or ride for all the women.
What we will all do is
remember and celebrate the lives of the women cruelly stolen from their
families by men who hated them enough to kill them.
I accept no defence or
excuses from the men who murdered them. Some of those men killed themselves in
the ultimate act of cowardice and self-absoprtion. Some also killed the woman’s
children to “save them” from living without a mother and her murderer. I don’t
accept the excuse that the women were “cheating” or were prostitutes or that
the men themselves were mentally ill or “provoked” or “defending themselves” as
in one case by slitting a wife’s throat from ear to ear. I don’t accept that
men were “putting women out of the misery” of old age or dementia. Every single
one of these men murdered a woman or a child because they hate women and girls
enough to kill them. We need to shine a spotlight on the men killing women.
We need to honour their
lives. We need to highlight the pain and horror of their final moments and the
shattered lives of their families left behind.
The main stream media frequently allow these things to go unnoticed. Men
who murder women are hidden within misleading headlines. The media must pay
attention to women’s services when they report the murders of women and change
their ways.
We need government to
recognize that saying the words “domestic abuse” and committing to “end it”
covers up the details of the terrible work of these men and how deep rooted the
hatred of women is in our society. The failures of the police are woven through
the stories below. The police must pay attention when women point out these
men. Many women who pointed can no longer point. They are dead.
We need courts to punish
domestic abusers appropriately. We need juries to be educated in domestic abuse
including in the tactics of coercive control and stalking. We need judges to
educate themselves and give judgements that are knowledgeable of the various
aspects of abuse.
We need courts to stop
allowing men to walk free to abuse again and again until they murder as in some
cases here. One perpetrator on this list murdered three of his partners.
But next Saturday we will
put aside those things. We will simply ride to show our love for the women and
to make sure they and their families know that women will never forget them. On
Saturday we will be riding full of sadness but we will also be riding full of
love.
Join us.
All funds will go to the organization
‘nia’ (Karen Ingala Smith is their fantastic CEO) who work to help and to save
some of the most vulnerable women in the UK. Please donate here if you can. Thanks to all those of you who have already donated. Women are being helped because of you.
Here are the names of the
women I have ridden for since I began riding in 2017. Please take time to read
but stop if it is too much. It is always too much.
Best wishes,
Jean Hatchet.

ferocity. He stabbed her on her front garden in front of her 3 children, one of
whom ran around in the sun screaming and covered in her blood.

but I was asked by her friend to honour her death)
Ride #43 For Sonita Nijhawan whose
husband axed her in the head 40 times and also stabbed her 78 times because she
wanted a divorce. She took her rings off the day before and he replaced them
after she was dead. He was jailed for manslaughter because
"depressed" but not too depressed and "out of control" to
search "softest part of the human female skull" the day before.
Ride #44 for Dawn Rhodes. Her
husband was cleared of murder. I've included her in this list because he
slashed her throat. He had been stalking her, checking her phone and Facebook
and found she was seeing another man. He had harassed her and her friends via
Facebook posts from a fake profile. It is sad that she was the one labeled
"unstable" and he walked free.
Ride #45 for Andrena Douglas -
police arrived to tell her her partner was injured in a caravan fire- only to
find her murdered.
Ride #46 for Karen Hales -
bludgeoned to death with a hammer by her daughter's ex-partner. He raped and

Ride #52 for Agnieszka Szymura who
was stabbed by her partner 30 times as neighbours watched. There was evidence
of past abuse and injuries.
Ride #53 for Sandra Gill. There was
clear evidence of past abuse at the hands of her husband and yet a coroner
could not be certain that her severe head injury was inflicted by him. He said
she may have "fallen off the toilet". Grown women can sit on toilets.
And beds. Even when drunk.
Ride #54 for Sarah Nash who was
strangled by her ex-partner who was allowed to walk free just months before to
attend a "relationship course".
Ride #55 was for Jules Parkin who
was killed this year. It was so shocking to know that her class would be going
into school to hear that their teacher had been murdered. I included her at the
request of a friend but will also ride for her again.
Ride #56 Alison Muncaster shot by
her husband as she sat on the sofa.
Ride #57 for Emma Baum whose
ex-partner battered her to death with a crowbar and then urged her mother to
come and "find her" with him.
Ride #58 for Claire Hart shot by
her husband days after she left him. He left a note "revenge is a dish
best served cold" he also shot her daughter alongside her after lying in
wait for them. He reloaded his gun between rounds.
Ride #59 for Charlotte Hart whose

body.
Ride #64 for Margaret Mayer whose
husband bludgeoned her to death with a lamp.
Ride #65 for Hannah Pearson whose
partner strangled her to death after watching porn. She did not consent to the
porn-influenced "sex" either the judge found.
Ride #66 for Gergana Prodanova
murdered by her ex-partner who was furious that she refused to go back to him
and was beginning a new relationship. He put her naked body in a suitcase and
dragged it through the town centre before dumping her to decompose beside a
railway line. She had endured years of abuse.
Ride #67 for Lynne Braund who had a
deep fear of fires. Her 18 month old daughter had died in a house fire in 1990
and she still suffered the trauma of that when her ex-partner squirted her with
lighter fluid and set her on fire. Then left as she burned.
Ride #68 for Donna Williamson whose
boyfriend accused her of sleeping with other men so he stabbed her in the heart
and lung. She had tried to call the police and he could be heard screaming
"You are dying. You are dying mate. Your life is slipping away from you.
What you done to me you c*nt, you f*cking deserve it."
Ride #69 for Xixi Bi beaten to
death by her partner. She had 41 injuries including a broken jaw and ribs.
Paramedics found her body so bruised they thought it was a result of her being
dead for days not hours.
Ride #70 for Jean Constant
asphyxiated with a plastic bag by her husband .
Ride #71 for Karen Arnold was
murdered by her husband who stabbed her multiple times.
Ride #72 for Alison Jane
Farr-Davies beaten to death by her boyfriend and thrown downstairs naked. Her
body was hit with such force that there was a penetrating cardia injury -
similar injuries are only seen in war as a result of shrapnel, grenades, mortar
bombs and explosions.
Ride #73 for Hayley Dean whose
partner bludgeoned her to death with a lump hammer and then slept next to her
body. He put her head under the pillow. When she was found she had a cigarette
in her mouth and a lighter in the other hand.

Bowe whose brother murdered her because she was going to accuse him of
rape. She was found with a dressing gown around her neck and naked from the
waist down as he sat close by smoking a cigarette.
Ride #75 for Melinda Korosi whose
ex-partner raped her 3 times before gouging a hole in her neck with a sharpened
rock. Police deemed her high risk after she had recently accused him of rape.

he never spoke to her and hadn't for years.
Ride #77 for Natasha Wake whose
partner stabbed her 11 times with an 8 inch knife. He stabbed her with such
force that 6 of the wounds went through her torso and out of her back. He then

the blood on the walls was ketchup. He was unhappy that she had found out he
was being investigated for sexual assault.

whose partner stabbed her to death through her chest in his home.
Ride #79 for Mandy Gallear whose
husband stabbed her as she unloaded the dishwasher because she had told him she
was leaving him
Ride #80 for Vicky Bance whose
husband saw her talking to another man so he stabbed her 23 times with a
commando knife. She had 16 stab wounds to her chest, 14 deeply penetrating her
heart and both lungs and any one of them could have been fatal with the maximum
depth of one wound being 20cm.
Ride #81 for Sophie Smith whose
boyfriend beat her for 4 hours breaking 11 of her ribs, her eye socket and her
nose.
Ride #82 for Alice Ruggles who was
stalked increasingly and relentlessly before eventually being stabbed to death
by an ex partner who had already terrorised and abused her. She felt
"palmed off" by police. He eventually broke in to her home and
slashed her throat from ear to ear. He stabbed her at least 6 times. Even as he
waited to murder her he was on his phone arranging a Tinder date for
afterwards.
Ride #83 for Lucy Jones murdered by
ex partner in a sustained and brutal attack with a total of 90 separate
injuries.
Ride #84 for Belen Tripp whose
husband stabbed her 24 times with some of those wounds 14cm deep and damaging
her shoulder blades with the ferocity.
Ride #85 for Deeqa Ibrahim who
kindly visited her ill husband before he returned to Somalia. He grabbed her

hypothermia.
Ride #87 for Linda Ordinans was
found murdered after her husband called police to report her murder shortly
before killing himself.
Ride #88 for Andraya Webb told her
boyfriend on a night out that their relationship was over after he had been
violent towards her too many times. She assured friends it would be ok for her
to go home even after he had become aggressive. Her ex returned and broke into
her home. He hit her with an iron. He stamped on her face so hard he left a
boot mark. He poured paint down her throat and put gas canisters between her
thighs before setting her on fire. She had 45 different injuries and was
breathing when she was set alight. He said "Some of us have angels and
some of us have demons. Tonight the demons won."
Ride #89 for Umida Eshboboeva
strangled to death by her husband just before Christmas. Always an enhanced
period of risk for victims.
Ride #90 for Angela Best was
murdered by a man at his home. Few other details are available.
Ride #91 for Claire Paton was beaten
to death by her ex-partner - the excuse offered was that he had tinnitus. He
also attacked her son with a nail gun after throttling her. No excuse is
acceptable for killing a woman. Not even poorly ears.
Ride #92 for Hayley Wall who was
lured into a "relationship" with her abusive uncle. He then murdered
her because she refused to sexually touch him in public in front of her
friends. He smashed her skull in with a television.
Ride #93 for Nicola Woodman
murdered on Christmas Day 2016 by her partner who stabbed her in the chest. He
also battered her with a pickaxe handle. A judge told him "You are not
ill. You are wicked."
Ride #94 for Tracy McPartland
beaten to death over a 2 day period by her son who had history of abusing
her. She had a total of 29 separate injuries. The judge said "she simply
took the beating and did not seek help". No woman expects the child they

betrayal.

Ride

Ride #108 for Karina Batista-partner stabbed her through
the eye, cut her throat, stabbed her in the heart+lungs

Ride
#110 for Hazel Wilson-Briant stabbed to death by partner in front of kids
screaming for someone to call 999.
Ride
#111 for Margaret Stenning stabbed to death by her husband in Spain where they

away from family and friends.

husband who refused all help for her during her descent into dementia
Ride #113 for Beverley Hudson - stabbed by ex partner 22

through the heart and liver after asking her to marry him
Ride #118 for Vikki Hull strangled to death by father of
her child in her father’s home.
Ride #119 for Kanwal Bernice also as I miscounted. It is
unclear exactly how she was murdered as her husband had placed her in a storage
room wrapped in cloth with a bin liner over her feet. She had been there up to
14 days when found.
Ride #120 for Carolyn Hill - punched in face by
boyfriend resulting in brain haemorrhage - he got drunk +bragged

Extra Ride #124 for Tara Newbold whose partner was,
unfathomably, disgustingly, not charged with murder. Her family seek

training weight by husband - she lived 17 weeks before dying
Ride #126 for Tracy Kearns-husband inflicted 40 separate
injuries, strangled, smothered and dumped her in a trailer
Ride #127 For Megan Bannister
Extra ride #33 for unnamed woman bullied to take her own
life by vile rapist. She cannot be
named as her anonymity is protected so I called her Ms Sheffield as that is
where she was killed.
Ride #128 for Sinead Wooding- Was stabbed multiple times
and hit repeatedly with a hammer by her husband. He then attempted to burn her
body before dumping it in a wood to be found. He had been harassing another
woman just days before and was a serial abuser.
Ride #129 for Concepta Leonard stabbed to death by
partner who also stabbed her son. She had a non-mol order
Ride #130 for Gemma Leeming whose partner strangled her
to death and wrote “no brain” on her face in mascara. He desecrated her
body+wrote on her in her own blood so that it would look like he was having a
psychotic episode
Ride #131 for Emma Day. Ex partner stabbed her repeatedly over child maintenance
as she took her kids to school.
Ride #132 for Sobhia Khan murdered by partner of just a
few weeks - he had previously set a woman on fire in 2010

the head with a vase made by her son. Then strangled her.
Ride #137 for Molly McLaren who ended a
relationship-always the most dangerous time for women with abusive men.
Ride #138 for Vera Savage - aged 89 was found stabbed to death and her
son found alongside her. Police said she was murdered but he was not. They
weren't looking for anyone else. Why on Earth can they not just admit when men
murder women? It is not unusual on these lists to find sons are the murderers
and it is the ultimate betrayal.
Ride #139 for Celine Dookhran uncle slit her throat
after kidnapping and raping her.
Ride #140 for Olivia Kray whose father strangled her and
then went to kill her mother -but failed.
Ride #141 for Betty Jordan - murdered by her estranged husband who drove
to her home and stabbed her to death because he thought she was having an
affair. Reports focus on the fact that he was wrong. Firstly, a woman who is
not in a current relationship cannot be "unfaithful" to a man she has
split from. Secondly - infidelity is still not a reason to murder a woman. Men
do not own women.
Ride #142 for Leanne Collopy whose ex stabbed her to
death +set her house in fire with her 2 yr old daughter inside
Ride #143 for Rikki Lander - husband read a text and was
jealous so beat her round the head and strangled her. He then hanged himself
leaving their 3 kids in the house
Extra Ride #144 at the request of friends of Shabnam
Bhardwaj who was murdered a few days ago in Himachal Pradesh in #India
by her husband who it is alleged hung her body to look like suicide. The police
initially didn’t act
Ride #145 for Hannah Cohen - Murdered by her brother who suspected he had
been cut out of the family will and business. Men cannot murder women who don't
do what they want even if they are family.
Ride #146 for Leah Cohen whose son allegedly stabbed her
to death because annoyed about a family will. He also allegedly murdered his
sister.
Ride #147 for Beryl Hammond murdered by her son after
many violent assaults reported and sadly retracted. He broke 10 ribs and left
her to decompose - the pain of love she must have felt for a son who finally
killed her.
Ride #148 for Asiyah Harris. Her ex-partner stabbed her
3 times in the neck finally severing an artery. He had arranged for her 2
children to be out of the house.
Ride #149 for Jessica King. Jealous ex partner strangled
her to death with her children in the house. He told her “if I can’t have you
no one can!” Many women will recognise this phrase. Other women. Fear it.
Extra Ride #150 for Rachel Slack at the request of her
friend @Becky_Slack
- she was stabbed 32 times in the chest and back by her ex along with her son
Auden after significant police failuresHe also asked her “What do you think I’m
going to do?” And she replied “I know what you’re going to do. You’re going to
kill me.” We always suspect they might. Long after we are free. Every time you
see them or hear their voice. A lifetime of fear.
Ride #151 for Linda Parker stabbed 12 times by an ex
partner who had stalked her relentlessly after she ended a coercive relationship
that had kept her from friends and family. She had a restraining order
Ride #152 for Nasima Noorzia whose husband stabbed her

about his name and forced her to have a tattoo of those initials and stalked
her movements relentlessly.
Ride #154 for Leanne Mckie a detective constable in the
serious sexual offences unit strangled by her police officer husband and dumped
in a lake as he callously tried to cover up crime including sending “loving”
texts to her phone post-murdering her
Ride #155 for Jane Sergeant smothered with a duvet by
her husband who took her from a care home where she was being cared for
alleging “compassion”. Men don’t get to decide to kill women for ANY reason.
Extra Ride #156 for Shaeen Akhtar - husband stabbed
her to death in front of her children after she asked him to leave due to his
drinking and gambling. She couldn’t push him out of the door in time to stop
him. He’d stored a combat knife in his trousers
Extra ride #157 for Barbara Francis whose husband
murdered her in 1995 and then committed suicide. As these cowards often do. She
was according to her friend @Janerthered a wonderful Jamaican woman who was
hoping to return there one day and open a cafe
Ride #158 for Moira Gilbertson stabbed to death
allegedly by her ex who hid her body and carried on texting her friends as
though she was still alive
Ride #159 for Sophie Louise Brook strangled with
electrical flex in 2015 by her husband who then wrapped her body in plastic and
hid it in communal bins. This was an extra ride at the request of her friend
who I met in Truro on Saturday. Her friend asked me not to use her married name
and could not control her tears as she spoke of her love for Sophie. She shook
as she told me. The devastation of losing a friend in this way will never leave
her. I’ll never forget hugging that poor woman
Ride #160 - for Anne O' Neill. Battered to death around the head by her
son in the garden as neighbours heard him shout "I will find you". The
priest at her funeral said it was a "double tragedy" though only she
was dead. The priest said "we've made bad choices or made mistakes, or sometimes we are victims of
circumstance, life seems to have thrown us a raw deal".... and yet only
the woman is dead. She didn't get to make poor choices. She was murdered.
Ride #161 for Elizabeth Merriman estranged from her
husband who stabbed her many times with a samurai sword when he found she had
begun a new relationship.
Ride #162 for Janet Northmore strangled to death by her
son in his home. He never stood trial because he killed himself in jail. Always
after the poor woman ...not first.
Ride #163 for Jillian Howell- murdered by a colleague she invited to
dinner who had developed an obsession with her. She rejected him so he stabbed
her 15 times. He wrote "bully" on her forehead and posted a cartoon
on Facebook afterwards which read "stand up to bullies and then kill
them". She was not a bully. He is a murderer.
Ride #164 for Mary Steel stabbed a number of times by
her own son. There are a number of women killed by their sons that I have
ridden for. Women raise men and they kill them as reward. The ultimate
betrayal.
Ride #165 for Simone Grainger whose husband hit her with
a saucepan and then strangled her to death. He hid her body in a rug so her
daughter didn’t see her. She described her marriage as “worst mistake of my
life” poor woman. She wasn’t to blame
Extra ride #167 for Deborah Ruse at the request of her
friend. Her jealous husband hacked her to death repeatedly with an axe
including her face, head and neck. He carried on while she was on the floor
bleeding and dying
Ride #168 for Patricia McIntosh whose ex-husband smashed
her in the face with a saucepan and then repeatedly kicked her until she was
dead because she wouldn’t sell her home.
Ride #169 for Lisa Chadderton whose partner strangled
her and punched her before stabbing her 5 times in the neck and once in the eye
in a jealous rage.
Ride #170 for Monika Lasek - after years of violence and
coercion -husband stabbed her repeatedly including as she crawled along the
floor trying to escape the attack. The police had been called just the week
before.
Ride #171 for Ruby Wilson. Her grandson brought many
knives to kill her in her care home. She was 94 when he slit her throat at both
sides. Terror and betrayal are still felt by elderly women with dementia.
Murder isn’t merciful.
Ride #172 for Susan Westwood whose son stabbed her
multiple times because she complained that her tea was too milky. Her family
said she loved him very much.
Ride #173 for Janine Bowater strangled to death by her
ex-partner who then raped her while she was unconscious
Ride #174 for Jodie Willsher. Her mother’s ex-partner
stabbed her repeatedly in the chest and stomach as revenge because her mum had
ended the relationship with him
Ride #175 for Beverley Bliss punched repeatedly then
stabbed to death by her son who left the knife in her throat afterwards as he
sat drinking tea at her kitchen table - excused made for him. There are no
excuses for murdering women
Ride #176 for Jayne Reat stabbed to death by her
partner’s son as she prevented her own daughter from being murdered by him too
as she shielded her. This is what mothers do. We die for our children. Women
are mighty
Ride #177 for Pauline Cockburn who was stabbed to death
by her violent partner. He had previously had guns removed by police. But he
found a way. They should have removed him.
Ride #178 for Anne Searle strangled to death by her
husband after posting on her Facebook that she hoped to be around in 2018 but
“we will see”. Despite what has been said at trial she knew her life was at
risk because she lived with a murderer.
Ride #179 for Melanie Clark murdered by her husband who
stabbed her because of her love for another woman. He felt she was laughing at
him. It is not an excuse to murder a woman because she ridicules your penis.
Ride #180 for Julie Owens.
Another woman murdered by her son. It was the ultimate betrayal as he punched
her to death. Not for the 1st time. He called it a “slap”. He initially blamed
her partner who’d hit her weeks before. Poor woman beaten and betrayed
Ride #181 for Elizabeta
Lacatusu whose former partner waited outside her home before stabbing her for
30 seconds in the neck and torso before calmly walking away. She had rejected
his attempts to get her back after she ended the relationship
Ride #182 for Terrie-Ann
Jones stabbed 26 times by her repeatedly violent controlling boyfriend who had
threatened to blow up her family and kill her. He said he didn’t mean it to
police. He meant it.
Ride #183 for Claire
Taverner whose jealous, controlling estranged husband stabbed her 10 times and
left her bleeding for her two boys aged 3 and 6 to find. They sat with her body
for an hour before calling police. Poor babes.
Ride #184 for Geraldine
Mellor whose boyfriend strangled her to death after a row about her wanting to
purchase things in a shop he didn’t sanction. He left her lying in boxes.
Abusers control even what women buy. A warning sign.
Ride #185 for Amelia Blake
who was bludgeoned to death while backpacking by a boyfriend she met on her
travels who did not like her freedom to roam and potential to leave him
Ride #186 for Cassie
Hayes. Still so fresh in our memories. Her girlfriend’s ex partner slit her
throat in her workplace in lesbophobic vengeance. This is still domestic
violence as he intended to leave his ex traumatised forever.
Ride #187 for Claire
Harris whose ex partner claimed at his trial that she fell. She was strangled
with 86 injuries and half of them to her head and face. Never believe what an
abuser tells you about how he didn’t mean to hurt you. He means it every time.
Ride #188 for Cheryl
Gabriel-Hooper who was shot in the neck outside her home after reporting a
number of incidents of domestic violence to police. A man of the same age as
her ex husband is still under investigation after also suffering gunshot
wounds.
Ride #189 for Janet Scott
who was stabbed by a former partner who then drive her away in his car. She
escaped and he then drove his car at her and the policeman she ran to for help.
Abusers are very determined men.
Ride #190 for Paula Harris
whose partner strangled her with his bare hands and then pretended he had
defended himself - taking money from her account and telling builders she was
“sleeping”. Abusive men lie. All the time. Listen for that.
Ride #191 for Ruksana
Begum stabbed by her son-in-law as she helped her daughter escape her arranged
marriage to him - a violent abuser - so that she could be with the man she
loved. He stabbed her through the heart and in the body 3 times.
Ride #192 for Saeeda
Hussein found with serious head injuries. Her husband is charged with her
murder.
-Ride #193 Danielle
Richardson who was stabbed 15 times by her boyfriend who then jumped from a
window. And lived. (I only rode 12 and a half miles as I was pretty tired out
and nausea kicked in - but I did think of her.
Ride #194 for Sarbjit
Kaur. She was murdered by asphyxiation and her husband stands trial next month.
Ride #195 for Jill Sadler
whose husband got drunk and strangled her to death but was only convicted of
manslaughter because the jury believed his story that she was “nasty” to him.
Women who aren’t “nice” to men still don’t deserve to be killed.
Ride #196 for Lynn McNally
who was murdered by her partner who stabbed her multiple times and left her
body with the knife sticking in her.
Ride #197 for Laura
Huteson who was brutally stabbed to death - allegedly by a man she met a few
hours before and went home with. Women who have sex with men are not
responsible when those men take out a knife suddenly and stab them ..as media
suggested
Ride #198 for Anne James
aged 74 stabbed 30 times in the back and chest by her own grandson who finally
slit her throat.
Ride #199 4 Laura Figueira
De Farida who was stabbed multiple times by her husband who then drove her two
sons to a cliff & threw them off. He also went off the cliff. But I care
nothing for him. Or any man who kills a woman and her children.
Ride #200 for Fiona
Scourfield whose stepson murdered her with an axe and a samurai sword. The
excuse was that he was obsessed with violent images online. Women see those
images too and manage not to murder men we live with.
Ride #201 for Jennifer
Rodgers who was murdered by her estranged and homeless ex husband. The CPS
accepted a manslaughter guilty plea on the grounds of diminished
responsibility. He *diminished* her life. The CPS should reject the paltry
excuses of men
Ride #202 for Michelle
Savage who left her husband -a violent abuser - and subsequently rejected his
attempts to “reconcile”. He shot her 6 times along with her mother. He had
bombarded her with texts, slashed her tyres etc etc
Ride 203 for Heather
Whitbread shot 6 times execution style alongside her daughter Michelle Savage
by her daughter’s ex-partner. He had been terrorising her - posting revenge
porn and demanding sex and was known to the police
Ride #204 for Diane Jones
whose son hit her repeatedly over the head with a claw hammer and she died
later in hospital. When mental ill-Health is used to excuse murdering women we
ask “why do these men only kill the women close to them and no one else?”
Ride #205 for Jenny Cronin
.... her daughter’s ex-husband set her on fire after storming her house with a
machete. Men who abuse women sometimes also abuse and kill their families.
There are no boundaries to their hatred of a woman.
Ride #206 for Leyla Mtumwa
whose husband stabbed her 49 times in the head, face, arms and neck in a
jealous rage after she saw her female friends for a night out. He did this in
front of her 12 yr old son who pleaded with him to stop before calling police
Ride #207 for Tracy
Stonehouse. Her estranged husband strangled her, stabbed her six times and beat
her repeatedly around the head. He had said he would kill her when she left
him. Men often say this. Sometimes they do. Take those men seriously.
Ride #208 for Lesley
Potter whose husband strangled her and then hung her to make it look like
suicide. He only confessed shortly before her funeral and her death wasn’t
initially seen as suspicious by police.
Ride #209 for Alexis Flynn
murdered by her ex partner who had an order preventing contact due to prior
violent attacks on her. He breached bail and stabbed her 11 times. He was found
calmly smoking a cigarette and drinking a can of beer.
Ride #210 for Victorija
Sokolova ... just 14 years old who was raped by her male “friend” after he
arranged to meet her on FB messenger. He then smashed her skull in with a
hammer leaving 21 injuries to her skull and spine.
Ride #211 for Margaret
Howlett stabbed to death by her new husband who was annoyed not to be on her
mortgage as he had escalating gambling debts. He had already dwindled her
savings away. He stabbed her multiple times in the neck.
Ride #212 for Maryna
Kavaliauskas ... she was found in her home next to a dead man and though police
said it was murder ... they weren’t seeking anyone else. Press more concerned
with ex husband cocaine dealer as though his crimes excuse her murder
“Ride #213 for Angela
Craddock whose “violent drunk” ex beat and kicked her to death just 7 days
after being released from jail for attacking her before. She had to be
identified by her fingerprints.
Ride #214 for Samantha
Clarke who was stabbed to death in her home. Her nephew arrested. The press
were more focused on how much her house cost. Women who have big houses are
still stabbed for being women. Not for the value of the walls they live within.
Ride #215 for Jennifer
Morgan whose partner waited for her outside her house and stabbed her to death.
Her 11 year old daughter found her in a pool of blood when she returned home
from school. That poor poor little girl. Lives are shattered by men.
Ride #216 for Hollie
Kerrell whose had recently ended a marriage to her murderer who took revenge
hitting her with a hammer and strangling her with her children in the house.
Don’t ever ask “why doesn’t she leave” ...the answer lies alongside her body.
Ride #217 for Elizabeth
Lacey stabbed to death by her son who was subsequently detained under mental
health act. Imagine her extreme emotional pain - coping with an ill son who
then came to stab her.
Ride #218 for Fiona Fisher
murdered by her son with a single stab wound to the chest. He had addiction and
mental health problems. But... these men still always find the women who love
them to kill. Not random strangers
Ride #219 for Faye
Calliman whose husband filmed himself standing over her as she cowered beneath
begging for her life before he stabbed her 12 times breaking his knife blade
off in her back.
Ride #220 for Jessica
Patel. Jessica endured years of control before her husband put a bag over her
head and suffocated her. she had expressed concerns for a long time
Ride #221 for Onees
Khatoon strangled with electrical cable by her son because she asked him to
leave her home. Men who murder women do not like women to establish boundaries
Ride #222 for Bernadette
Green murdered by her son who smothered her after deliberately neglecting her.
She weighed 5 stone down from 12 stone. She most likely spent her last months
begging for food. That makes my heart ache
Ride #223 for Sophie
Cavanagh whose estranged husband strangled her because she refused to sleep
with him even though he offered her £100. Men who can’t own women, or buy them,
might kill them.
Ride #224 for Angela
Conoby who lived with a man for 30 years before he stabbed her in chest +neck
and left her covered and decomposing for 2 weeks in a corner of the room. How
many years of terror? All that life lost...unlikely to be “out of the blue”.
Ride #225 for Keely
McGrath who was murdered just before Christmas. She leaves behind her 5
children and heartbroken mum
Ride #226 for Laura
Mortimer whose ex partner stabbed her 18 times because angry she had asked him
to leave. He also stabbed her daughter Ella and left them lying alongside each
other. He had attacked her the previous Christmas and had a violent past.
Ride #227 for Ella
Mortimer age 11 stabbed 24 times in the face and neck by her step father as she
came to help her mother Laura who was also stabbed to death. They lay side by
side together in pools of blood when found.
Ride #228 for Denise
Rosser whose partner beat her so viciously she had 28 rib fractures, a
punctured lung, fractured skull and torn kidney and it was said “only
consistent with a single impact like a car crash” Some men are like a car crash
for women..
Ride #229 for Joanne
Bishop stabbed 28 times with a screwdriver in her chest and back. She lived for
4 days after the attack. He showed “no remorse”.
Ride #230 for Lamduan
Seekanya. Murdered in 2004 but body only just identified. She was left in a
remote area of pen-y-ghent. Police need help to find her killer. She was not a
“Thai Bride”. She was a woman.
Ride #231 for Andra
Hilitanu murdered by her boyfriend who stabbed her 40 times with scissors also
killing her unborn child. All her injuries “survivable” but he didn’t call for
help. She died in agony.
Ride #232 for Marie
Gibson. Her partner beat her with a baseball bat and stabbed her in the neck
with a shard of glass. She died of brain and severe facial injuries. He said
she “goaded him”. Women are not to blame for men killing them.
Ride #233 for Gita Suri
stabbed to death - her partner and flatmate accused of stabbing her repeatedly
and dousing her in lighter fuel because annoyed she left the back door open and
didn’t flush the toilet.
Ride #234 for
Klarissa-Charlene Faith whose ex-partner trusted him enough to continue to live
in the same house. He took her on an errand then brought her home and strangled
her to death. Abusers are always potential murderers.
Ride #235 for Samantha
Toms whose ex partner smothered her to death and then called his family to tell
them and ask them to come and help him “remove” her dead body.
Ride #236 for Lorna Myers
stabbed to death by her son who also attempted to murder her other son. He was
“paranoid”. He also had a a previous conviction for battering a partner. Forget
paranoia. That’s woman hating.
Ride #237 for Patricia
Franks. Her husband killed her with a scaffolding pole then smothered her
because she had dementia and he couldn’t cope. Men never have the right to make
those decisions to kill women out of “mercy”
Ride #238 for Katerina
Makunova who was so scared of her partner she took a knife in her bag but when
he pushed her and she fell -it was on the knife in her bag and so he killed
her. Police had been called to him 6 times before. He got 2 yrs and 3 months
Ride #239 for Sheila
Thomas who left her husband who then stabbed her in the head and neck and
bludgeoned her head with a stick until it broke. She had left him for a man she
had known since 1975 and could have been - and deserved to be - happy.
Ride #240 for Samantha
Eastwood whose vile boyfriend suffocated her and then bound her mouth and eyes
with tape before laying out her wedding dress and engagement ring on the bed to
fool police
Ride #241 for Karen Peter
whose husband strangled her and then set fire to the house while her 3 children
were asleep. Once alight he refused to let anyone into the bedroom where she
was locked and told firefighters she had gone out
Ride #242 for Kelly
Franklin who ended an abusive 12 year relationship with her abuser. He then
used another woman to find her and stab her more than 30 times when he found
her in the street.
Ride #243 for Katherine
Kemp found in a pool of blood with over 20 knife wounds. Her husband - who had
previously exploited prostitutes - subsequently jumped out of the window and
killed himself. He should have done this first.
Ride #244 for Tracey
Evans. Her partner cut her throat from ear to ear 4 times almost severing her
tongue. A judge said she “suffered dreadfully”. He blamed his diabetes. I blame
him. Just him.
Ride #245 for Marie Walker
whose partner strangled her to death after months of jealous accusations about
a co-worker. He found no proof. But killed her anyway. Women are not obliged to
be faithful to men who abuse them. It is not an excuse to kill.
Ride #246 for Simonne Kerr
whose partner killed her by stabbing her in the throat. She was a talented
singer and a campaigner to raise awareness of sickle cell disease. She lost her
son aged 6 to the disease.
Ride #247 for Barbara
Davison whose partner smothered her to death. He had previously been convicted
of *manslaughter* for strangling a previous girlfriend in 1995. This is why
courts shouldn’t give abusive, murderers the benefit of the doubt.
Extra Ride#248 for Ellie
Gould who it is suspected was murdered. I rode to honour her short life and
acknowledge the future she lost. My sincere sympathy for her poor poor family
and friends.
Ride #249 for Kaltoun
Saleh died after 6 weeks in a Burns unit. Her husband was accused of setting
her on fire. His clothes had white spirit on them. Argument heard by neighbours.
She screamed for water. He walked free. So I rode for her.
Ride #250 for Sharon
Perett Who was murdered with a number of blunt force trauma injuries to her
head, chest and neck. Police referred themselves to complaints. Her partner
denies murder.
Ride #251 for Raneem Oudeh

dragging her. They both died of multiple stab wounds after he hunted them all
day. They called police 5 times in 2 hours. To no avail.
Ride #252 for Khaola

they desperately tried to get police to help them. He stabbed them both
multiple times.
Ride #253 for Celia Levitt
murdered by her son who strangled her and smothered her. He was detained under
mental health act. So many “moments of madness” men only kill women. Never
their male co worker or brother or the bloke in the shop
Ride #254 for Kylie
Dembrey stabbed to death inc 3 times in the jugular +her heart and also strangled
by her partner who claims it wasn’t murder because “mental illness”. “Mentally
ill” men kill women who love them a lot rather than the man in the street
Ride #255 for Susan Gyde
murdered in her home. Police arrived too late after reports of a serious
assault. Her husband will go on trial 24th June. The police need to up their
game. This is the second ride in a couple of weeks where they were too late
Ride #256 for Kay
Richardson whose husband killed her before killing himself. They had parted 2 weeks
before and he asked on Facebook if she was still wearing “his” ring. You don’t
own women with a ring +cant kill them cos they take it off
Ride #257 for Cristina
(Kyky) Magda-Calancea who was stabbed by her former partner multiple times in
the neck and torso. Her family said she was “extremely happy ... had a specific
laugh”. They will never hear that laugh again.
Ride #258 for Frances
Hubbard. Aged 81. Stabbed multiple times by her husband. He had to be shot with
rubber bullets to be arrested so violent was his attack. These murderous men
are never too old to kill +the women with them never old enough to be safe

was found dead in his back garden. She had been reported missing. He allegedly

their mother.
Ride #261 for Natalie

Ride #262 for Sarah
Wellgreen whose ex partner has been arrested and charged with her murder. Her
body has not been found. Her family must live in agony.
Ride #263 for Nazia Ali

screwdriver especially to kill her. He used them to tie her up and beat and
stab her to death while her children slept then calmly called police
Ride #264 for Teresa
Garner whose husband hit her with a hammer until she was dead including 16 head
wounds. He had been violent to 3 other ex partners including putting a
cigarette out in one woman’s face
Ride #265 for Lynn Forde
killed by her boyfriend who then killed himself. He had strangled her then
killed himself after ringing police to confess. So many of these abusers do
this. Always kill the woman first just to be sure she doesn’t live happily
Ride #266 for Mavis Bran.
She was 69 and ran a chip shop. Her husband is charged with her murder. She
died of extensive burns. In the chip shop. The pain of what happened to her is
unthinkable.
Ride #267 for Sheena
Jackson. Her husband found “ill” alongside her but he later died. Police say
she was murdered but were not looking for anyone else. Yet another man
*probably* murdering a woman +not having to pay for it because cowardice saved
him
Ride #268 for Ann Marie
Pomfret who was pronounced dead at her stables. She loved horse riding. She had
serious head injuries. Her husband has been charged with her murder and awaits

Sheikh who was murdered and had “multiple injuries”. Her husband has been
arrested.
Ride #272 for Maureen

them to stab you to death. The pain of her last moments. The betrayal.
Ride #273 for Jacqueline
Allen who was murdered in an arson attack just hours after reporting her
daughter’s ex partner to the police for threats made against her daughter. Man
believed to be the same has been arrested and charged with murder.
Ride #274 for Samantha
Gosney whose manipulative, abusive boyfriend stabbed her 21 times - some of the
wounds so deep they hit the bones of her spine. She had attended a funeral
looking “nice” and he objected.

asking that her children not be let in the room with her body and “daddy loves
you”... yet he destroyed their lives.
