Her addiction led to prostitution, and then ultimately to her untimely death.ĭivorce: Following the breakdown of her marriage Susan fell in with the wrong crowd which led to her addiction
Crossbow cannibal crack#
His death affected Suzanne hugely, and when she met a crack dealer known as ‘Ifty’ who got her hooked on crack, she went downhill very quickly. They paid for her to go to rehab, which worked until her father Norman died suddenly at the age of 49. The marriage limped on with both now suffering a drug problem and Suzanne’s parents Norman and Nicky stepped in to try to help their eldest daughter. Suzanne repeatedly failed to turn up at the nursing college and so was thrown out. Initially Suzanne and Simon managed to restrict their hedonistic lifestyle to the weekends and Suzanne continued her studies to become a nurse.īut as time went on they began trying heroin and became addicted. ‘He didn’t like him and although Marguerite and I begged him to go to the wedding he wouldn’t go. I think Norman blamed him for introducing Suzanne to all of that and getting her hooked on the drugs. Michael Brankin, who married Suzanne’s sister Marguerite, said: ‘It was Suzanne’s first serious relationship and maybe she thought it was all new and exciting, or perhaps it was a way to rebel against her dad. Wedding day: Suzanne got married aged only 20 to the brother of her best friend Rachel, a relationship her father disapproved of Indeed he refused to attend their wedding ceremony, although he paid for the lavish day and even gave the couple one of his four houses to live in rent-free. Simon, who ran his own window cleaning business, was equally intoxicated by the 90s rave scene, and Suzanne’s father Norman deeply disapproved of the relationship. ‘Her childhood was very protected, and I think this was her way of breaking free, of rebelling against her upbringing.’Īt the same time she started to date Rachel’s brother Simon and the two of them were married in 1994 when she was 20. It was the early 1990s so lots of people were doing it in a social way but she had quite an addictive personality and I think it gradually took her over. Her best friend at that time, Rachel McGuiness, said: ‘She started experimenting with pills and cocaine. She also started working at a care home in her spare time and with good A-level results, was given a three-year place at a nursing college in Bradford.īut her social life soon got in the way of her studies. She had designer clothes and went on exotic holidays Idyllic: Suzanne Ramires was given the best of everything in her early life because of her father's wealth. Her love for literature and reading ensured Suzanne did well at her Catholic secondary school, Yorkshire Martyrs, where she gained a clutch of good GCSEs and went on to study psychology, sociology and English literature at A-level.
Written when she was 14, it was about the dangers of drugs and how users were throwing their lives away – an irony now keenly felt by her loved ones. The family were parishioners at St Columba’s Roman Catholic Church, where the priest once read out one of Suzanne’s essays to the congregation. But both girls had him wrapped round their little finger.’ ‘He was fairly straitlaced and they were brought up in a very cosseted and protected environment. ‘Norman idolised them and gave them everything they wanted – jewellery, fur coats, lovely homes – and basically spoilt them rotten. Her brother-in-law Michael Brankin, 47, said: ‘It’s fair to say that both daughters were complete Daddy’s girls. Her grandfather even named one of his own racehorses SueMag after the two sisters. She would often be seen grooming one of her ponies to enter them in gymkhanas. He owned commercial garages and kept racehorses, so growing up in the 1980s Suzanne and her family were quite the envy of the neighbourhood. Her wealthy father Norman ensured that she and her younger sister Marguerite were dressed in the latest designer clothing, travelled abroad for exotic holidays and were each given ponies that both girls loved riding. Suzanne Blamires death was captured on CCTV, with the evidence being used to catch Stephen GriffithsĪs a child Suzanne Blamires, who ended her life as the final victim of crossbow cannibal Stephen Griffiths, had wanted for nothing.
