Episode Episode 103 - Sarah Laycock and her daughter Abigail
In January 2012 31 year old Sarah Laycock and her eight year old daughter Abigail were killed by Sarah’s partner John Miller in Garforth in Leeds. Their 4 year old daughter survived but was left alone with the bodies of her mother and sister for over 12 hours.
An abusive man with a history of controlling behaviour, Miller was arrested after the murders and convicted – but only of manslaughter. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2013 which means he might be free very soon.
This is the story of Sarah Laycock and her daughter Abigail.
