More... Lisa Squire

Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth

We’ve got a very different kind of guest this week. It’s Lisa Squire, the mother of Libby Squire, who was born on the 1st January 1998 and tragically lost her life on the 1st February 2019 in Hull, when she was a student at university. She was missing for seven agonising weeks, and her body was eventually washed up in the Humber estuary in March of 2019. It was later found that she had been raped and murdered.

In this conversation, Lisa and Gyles remember Libby, and tell her story in full: the happy times, the unhappy times, and the tragic end of the story.

Lisa is spearheading a campaign to highlight the importance of reporting non-contact sexual offences such as flashing and voyeurism, called ‘It Does Matter’, in partnership with Thames Valley Police. https://www.itdoesmatter.org.uk/

There are some references to self-harm and to some sexual offences in this conversation with Lisa.

Many thanks to Lisa for this wonderful conversation and for the memories of Libby. We dedicate this episode of Rosebud to the memory of Liberty Anna Squire, 1/1/98 - 1/2/2019.
