HE BROKE MY FAMILY... BUT I WON'T STOP FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE

Mum of murder victim battles to stop killer's release

- By BEN HASLAM

A DESPERATE mum is working tirelessly to stop her daughter's killer from being released until her remains are found.

Chantel Taylor, a 27-year-old mother-of-three, was brutally murdered when ex-soldier Stephen Wynne struck her in the neck with a meat cleaver at his flat on Elmswood Road in Birkenhead on March 13, 2004.

Wynne, who was 26 at the time of the murder, was only caught when he tried to torch a mosque in Birkenhead in “revenge” for the July 7 London bombings in 2005. When he was arrested for that incident, police found handwritten notes in his home referring to the death of a woman and suspected he may be involved in Chantel's murder.

The murderer later told police how he dismembered Chantel's body and hid her in his loft before moving her a few days later.

Wynne took police to Royden Park in Greasby and other locations where he claimed to have dumped Chantel's body. But nothing was ever found, and her family was forced to hold a funeral with just traces of her DNA from the murder scene.
