Myra Thompson was hit on the head and suffocated by Jayne Hill who had stolen money from her
An elderly woman loved in her community has been pictured for the first time on the day her murderer was jailed for life. Myra Thompson, 90, was murdered in her own home by Jayne Hill - a carer who was trusted to take care of her in her home on Bolde Way in Spital. Mrs Thompson was found dead on the morning of Tuesday 23 April this year. The cause of death was given as mechanical asphyxiation. Following enquiries Hill, who had been a carer for Ms Thompson, was arrested.
' Myra's niece Anne Charters said following the sentencing of Hill: 'As a family we are greatly relieved that the murder investigation into Myra’s death has finally come to an end, resulting in a fitting sentence for the accused, Jane Hill. To abuse a position of trust on someone as frail and vulnerable as my aunty Myra and to then confront her with such violence is something that has been incredibly upsetting and difficult to come to terms with.
