Thirty-seven-year-old Lorraine Turner was a former journalist who lived in Old Catton, Norfolk, England with her two children: ten-year-old Jordan and eight-year-old Jasmine.
On Saturday, August 17th, 2002, Lorraine’s son and daughter returned home to find their mother lying in a pool of blood. She had been savagely beaten in the head and had died of her injuries.
Lorraine’s family was shocked by her brutal death, claiming they had no idea who would have a motive to kill her. Lorraine kept in close contact with her relatives living in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, where she was originally from.
Lorraine’s uncle did tell the police, however, that she had gotten involved with a so-called “unsavory character” the year before her murder, a man who was reportedly a drug addict, but there was little to no evidence to suggest that he had been responsible for killing her.
In 2003, a twenty-one-year-old roofer named Lee Alan Cook, who also lived in Old Catton, was arrested and questioned about the crime but was eventually cleared.
A grown-up Jordan and Jasmine made a renewed plea to find their mother’s killer in September of 2023, but since then, there have been no new updates in the case, and the mysterious slaying of Lorraine Turner remains unresolved.
