Katie Simpson: Why did it take so long to look for her killer?

Jonathan Creswell first met Katie and her family through working in horse stables near their home in Tynan, County Armagh.

He went on to have two children with Katie’s eldest sister, Christina.

It was a controlling relationship.

“He isolated the family,” said Marie Brown, CEO of Foyle Women’s Aid and the Family Justice Centre.

“Coercive control, I believe, is one of the most insidious forms of abuse because it gradually is undermining somebody, instilling fear, paralysing them from telling anybody because they’re so fearful of that person.”

By the time she turned 18, Katie mostly lived with her sister and Creswell, under his control.
