"On the first day of Jonathan Creswell's trial for the rape and murder of showjumper Katie Simpson, the young woman's grieving family were front and centre. There would be no second day in court. Creswell would die by suicide following the first day of his 2024 trial at the Crown Court in Derry."
""I was there on day one of the trial. He obviously knew there was no way out. The court case would have given us something, it would have given us the truth," Colleen McConville, Katie's aunt, told the Sunday Independent."
Katie Simpson, a showjumper, was raped and murdered, and Jonathan Creswell faced trial at the Crown Court in Derry in 2024. The trial began with the grieving family present, with no second day scheduled. Creswell died by suicide following the first day of the trial. Katie’s aunt, Colleen McConville, said she was there on day one and believed the court case would have provided something for the family, including the truth. The investigation into the death was described as having failed, reflecting the lack of resolution for the family.
