A groundbreaking documentary titled The British Airways Killer aired on ITV, shedding light on the tragic murder of Joanna Simpson by her husband Robert Brown in 2010.
The harrowing incident took place while Joanna’s two young children played innocently in a room nearby, unaware of the horror unfolding.
Who are Joanna Simpson’s children?
Joanna Simpson and Robert had two children together, a son named Alex and a daughter named Kate, also known as Katie.
Tragically, Kate and Alex were in close proximity when their mother was brutally murdered on that fateful night.
Following the tragic loss of their mother, Kate and Alex have chosen to maintain privacy and have refrained from speaking publicly about the devastating events.
Joanna’s mother, Diana Parkes, took on the heart-wrenching task of breaking the news of their mother’s demise to the young children.
She revealed how she had to inform them that their mother had passed away, describing it as the worst day of her life.
What happened to Joanna Simpson?
Robert Brown violently took Joanna’s life on Halloween night in 2010, subjecting her to a brutal attack with a hammer as their children innocently played nearby.
Subsequently, Brown misled Kate and Alex by claiming that their mother was unwell and needed hospitalization, concealing the heinous crime he had committed.
Joanna Simpson’s death occurred after enduring a prolonged period of domestic abuse, marked by coercive control, isolation, intimidation, and severe violence.
Her remains were discovered five days later buried in a pre-dug grave, only a few days away from finalizing her divorce from Robert.
Despite Brown being acquitted of murder, he was found guilty of manslaughter due to diminished responsibility and sentenced to 24 years in prison, with additional time for obstructing a coroner.
The release of Robert Brown sparked concerns among campaigners, including Carrie Johnson, urging authorities to block his parole release.
An emotional plea from Joanna’s mother in The Sun emphasized the ongoing fear and worry over Brown’s potential release and the need for public safety.
In a recent development, the Secretary of State for Justice intervened to prevent Brown’s automatic release, emphasizing the need to protect the public from dangerous offenders.
The ongoing legal battle highlights the profound impact of Joanna Simpson’s tragic death and the quest for justice for her and her grieving family.
The legal battle continues as efforts are made to ensure justice for Joanna Simpson and her family.
