‘She wouldn’t eat, she wouldn’t speak to me, she wouldn’t do anything for me’

THIS is one of the women at the centre of the House of Horrors controversy in Wexford, where a 58-year-old woman died weighing just four stone after months of starvation.

Eleanor Joel (pictured) yesterday broke her silence to claim she had done everything to try to save her mother, Evelyn.

Ms Joel, 31, denies that she prevented family members from visiting. She couldn’t explain how her mother had lost so much weight before being removed to Wexford General Hospital, where she died on January 7.
