A woman convicted of bashing a pensioner to death with a Virgin Mary statue will walk free from jail years after being arrested. Mr Ryan's notes state Ms Reddie claimed she had been 'drunk and angry' when she attacked Mr Abdelmissah with the statue. Ms Reddie died in 2012 and was never treated a serious suspect in the case. The case remained open and unsolved until Pyliotis' DNA was linked to a glove which was found near the victim's body. When the Court of Appeal quashed that conviction, it paved the way for a potential fifth Supreme Court murder trial.
