Murdered daughter
Her solicitor Euan Gosney asked for a postponement of a hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act, which had been set for later this month because selling the last resting place of her tragic daughter’s cremated remains had shaken Duncan’s already-fragile mental state.
He said he had concerns about Duncan’s health and her ability to provide instructions and give evidence if the hearing went ahead as planned.
He said: “In 2014 her daughter was murdered.
“That enough might have been the reason for her decreased mental health but there have been further difficulties – the property over which her daughter’s ashes were scattered required to be sold in terms of raising the funds for payment of the compensation order so there’s been a marked downturn in her mental health.”
