A woman in Bristol has been jailed for what's being called a "wicked" and "perplexing" crime committed last fall.
As Bristol Live initially reported, the grave of 22-year-old Liam Scarman became the target of harassment and vandalism in November 2020. White paint was poured over the headstone, alongside a note that read, "Ha Ha Ha Liam. Looks like diabetes won again!" and other offensive messages. Scarman passed away after suffering a diabetic episode in 2017.
Now, the culprit, 25-year-old Bristol resident Simona Julius, has reportedly been jailed for the crime. According to Bristol Live, the sentencing comes after Julius admitted to committing the vandalism and writing the hostile messages.
