BBC Radio 4 - Forgiveness: Stories from the Front Line, Marian

Marian's sister Lucy was murdered by Fred and Rosemary West. Could there be forgiveness?

Marian Partington's sister Lucy was tortured and murdered by Fred and Rosemany West. How does a person deal with the horror of that and find a way to a 'forgiving heart'?

For 20 years, the disappearance of Marian Partington's sister Lucy was a mystery.  What had happened to the 21 year old after she left a friend's house at Christmas time in 1973?  

The brutal truth was revealed when Fred and Rosemary West's crimes came to light and it was confirmed that Lucy, buried under concrete in the house in Cromwell Street in Gloucester, was one of the murder victims. 

Marina Cantacuzino, founder of The Forgiveness Project, finds out how Marian came to terms with the horrific death of her beloved sister and how she managed to find way a through.
