Swansea, Wales – Kelly Louise Randall, a 45-year-old mother of three, was found dead under a pile of rubbish in a garden six days after her disappearance, an inquest has revealed. Ms. Randall, who was a wheelchair user due to a leg amputation, was last seen on May 3, 2022.

Police initially categorized her as a low-risk missing person, despite her disability. However, her risk level was upgraded to medium on May 9, prompting a more thorough search of her home and surrounding area. The discovery of Ms. Randall’s wheelchair outside a property in Clas y Deri led investigators to focus their search there.

Inside the home, officers found blood stains on various items and a mound of rubbish in the garden that ultimately yielded the tragic discovery of Ms. Randall’s body. The homeowner, Alfred Millman, was promptly arrested on suspicion of murder.

However, Detective Constable Minto stated that no evidence suggested Ms. Randall’s death was suspicious. The inquest revealed Ms. Randall had a history of drug addiction and was on medication for depression and self-harm.

Millman, after his arrest, told police he had found Ms. Randall’s body in his bedroom and had panicked, moving her body to the rubbish pile. He insisted he had no involvement in her death and claimed she had a key to his property.

While a post-mortem examination revealed no signs of trauma or skull fractures, a toxicology report showed high levels of alcohol and various drugs in Ms. Randall’s system. The forensic pathologist, Dr. John Williams, stated that he could not determine the exact cause of death, citing the possibility of drug toxicity or a sedative effect from the combination of substances.

Due to the lack of conclusive evidence, Assistant Coroner Mr. Gruffydd recorded an open conclusion, leaving unanswered questions surrounding Ms. Randall’s death. This tragic case highlights the complexities of drug addiction and mental health challenges and underscores the importance of thorough investigations and support services for vulnerable individuals.
