The mother of a young woman who was killed by her ‘on/off’ partner said on Friday the 42 injuries on her daughter’s body all told of the pain and terror the 34-year-old must have felt in her last moments.

Sharon Crean’s mother, Catherine, said she was haunted by this and by not being able to protect her child from having this cruel and violent end to her life.
