Newly Wed Bride Found Dead in Suitcase Four Days After Wedding

• Newly Wed Mum-of-one found dead in a suitcase just days after wedding
• She was married on Wednesday and died on Sunday morning

Ekohotblog reports that a newlywed mother’s body was discovered in a luggage only days after her wedding.

Dawn Walker, whom acquaintances described as “friendly, giving, and attractive,” had a small boy before her terrible demise.

On Sunday, October 31, her bones were discovered in a grassy area behind some trees in the little village of Lightcliffe, near Halifax in Yorkshire.

A 45-year-old guy from the area has been detained on suspicion of murder. He is still being held by police, and no other suspects are being sought in connection with Dawn’s death.

‘She was married on Wednesday and died on Sunday morning,’ a close friend claimed.

‘Dawn was a sound woman. She got married on Wednesday and now this has happened.

‘She was found inside a suitcase at the back of some trees. She had
been living on (nearby) Shirley Grove.

‘Now a little boy has been left with no mum. I think he’s about one or
one-and-a-half.’

The friend said Dawn was always ready to help out others in need.

‘She was the soundest person you could meet,’ the friend said. ‘She was friendly and generous. She once paid for a disabled man’s shopping when he was short.’

Neighbours in Nunlea Royd have been left devastated by the news. One elderly woman said: ‘I am gobsmacked – there is no other word for it. It is devastating. I have lived here for 40 years and what has happened is just terrible.’

Detective Inspector Amanda Wimbles, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: ‘Our enquiries into this incident are still at an early stage and we are particularly keen to speak with the person who initially called us to make the report as they have not yet identified themselves to us.’
