When 30-year-old Lyndsey Vaux was rushed to hospital on the morning of May 22, 2016, she sadly died just an hour later.
As the investigation into her death unfolded, detectives soon realised that Lyndsey had been subjected to years of severe abuse by a mother and daughter duo who had previously done the same to another woman.
