A 33-year-old mother-of-seven bled to death in the back of her boyfriend’s car after sex so violent it left her with injuries worse than those commonly seen in childbirth.
Lynette Daley died of blunt force genital tract trauma at Ten Mile Beach on the north coast of NSW in January 2011.
Nine News reports her alleged boyfriend Adrian Attwater, 42, and friend Paul Maris, 46, both admitted to having sex with her in the car on the beach, but insisted it was consensual.
Tests later proved Daley was very intoxicated at the time of her death, with a BAC of .35, leaving her unable to consent to sex.
They then burned the blood soaked mattress Daley died on and some of her clothes before police arrived.
They were both initially charged with her death, but the charges were subsequently dropped and Daley’s family told no one would face justice over what happened to her, despite the NSW coroner saying the men’s versions of what had happened were “inconceivable and dishonest”.
Daley’s family are still struggling with the decision to drop the cases against the men, with her sister saying their life was empty since her death.
“We don’t celebrate birthdays, Christmas anymore. Life is not the same. It’s never going to be the same,” she told Four Corners.
