We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Stacey Hyde aged only 32. Justice for Women supported Stacey in her appeal against a murder conviction and subsequent retrial for murder, where a jury, having heard all the evidence acquitted her on grounds of self defence. Following her release from prison, Stacey struggled to adapt to life outside and remained vulnerable to exploitation. However, she supported campaigns for justice and spoke publicly to try to raise awareness and bring hope to other women who had fought back in response to male violence. She is remembered fondly by all at Justice for Women for her vivaciousness and sense of humour. Our condolences go out to Stacey’s family and friends.
