Vikki Thompson lived in a village near Oxford with her husband Jonathan, two young children and the family dog, Daisy. At about 4pm one Saturday afternoon, Vikki took Daisy for her usual afternoon walk in the pretty countryside close to where she lived. Half an hour later, Daisy returned home with no sign of Vikki which was most unusual. Jonathan knew something was wrong and headed out to look for his wife where he was joined by others in the village. At just before 7.15pm Vikki was finally found by the railway embankment, but she had been attacked, suffering terrible injuries and despite an air ambulance taking her to hospital in Oxford, just six days later Vikki had died of her injuries.In this episode of the UK true Crime podcast I ask just who killed Vicki - and why?Support me at Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeFind out all about UK True Crimehttps://linktr.ee/uktruecrimeSourceshttps://www.uktruecrime.com/2024/10/07/there-is-no-justice-in-death/ Hosted on Acast.
