I like to have a laugh and be light in thsi blog but in our modern, cosmosplitan society, it's still a shock and sobering thought that someone was sentenced to death by hanging in Cardiff little more than a few years before I was born.
I've always been touched by the story and perceived dignity of Laura Rattan who, as the below Echo link confirms, has had a terrble hands of cards in her life and within her family. To dedicate her entire life to clearing her husband's name was immense, I'm glad that proved worthwhile for her.
Rest in Peace Mrs Rattan
