Zara Ashton’s life was shattered in a split second, when she found her sister Linzi’s battered body hidden under a duvet on 29 June 2013.

Linzi, who was 25, suffered 108 injuries, including being strangled with a cable tie at the hands of her evil ex-partner Michael Cope. Speaking for the first time, mum-of-two Zara told how she suffered from such severe post-traumatic stress disorder causing regular panic attacks. The harrowing flashbacks of her sister’s swollen face and panic attacks made Zara a prisoner in her own home with most days not even being unable even to get dressed.
