<\/span>Ms Franklin’s family said Kettlewell was an “evil, vicious monster” who had “plagued” her life in a “controlling and abusive relationship”.<\/p>\n
In a statement read to the court, Ms Franklin’s sister Stacy said she had got rid of Kettlewell “like a nasty virus”.<\/p>\n
She told him: “You were meant to have loved her, we will never forgive you.”<\/p>\n
She also said the children “are flourishing” without their father, adding: “They hate you for what you have done.”<\/p>\n
Ms Franklin added that the family were “disgusted” Kettlewell initially admitted the murder but then changed his plea, putting them through the pain of a trial.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors called Kettlewell an “utterly self-centred narcissist” who was “coercive and psychologically abusive” towards Ms Franklin and the couple’s three children during their relationship, which ended in January 2018.<\/p>\n
Wass lived next door to the victim and would report her movements to Kettlewell.<\/p>\n
On the day of the killing, Kettlewell, who had bombarded his ex with messages telling her to get back with him, was driven by Wass to find Ms Franklin.<\/p>\n
Wass spotted her walking on Oxford Street, where Kettlewell confronted and attacked her.<\/p>\n
Wass then drove Kettlewell to woods near Trimdon before returning to the scene and speaking to police in an attempt to cover up her role.<\/p>\n
Stacy Franklin also said Wass, a mother and grandmother, had been “disgusting and heartless”.<\/p>\n
