She Matters: Kelly Williams (Duffy)

She Matters: Kelly Williams (Duffy)

Today, we're sharing an episode from Sherele Moody's podcast, She Matters. You can click here to listen to more episodes on Apple, or you can find She Matters wherever you listen to podcasts.


You can also sign the "Justice for Kelly" petition here.


Show notes:


A man heard the violence behind the wall. He did not help her. Her sister found the single mum days later. The smell of her favourite human decaying forever lingers in her memory. Her murder warranted no more than three lines in one newspaper. Her killer still walks among us.


Her name is Kelly Williams (Duffy). She was only 31. You've never heard of her but it's not for want of trying. Kelly's sister Paula has spent the past 23 years trying to get journalists to tell her story.


Today she gets that wish.
