Corinne Mitchell, the mother of convicted murderer Luke Mitchell, has died after spending more than two decades campaigning to challenge her son's conviction. Mitchell was convicted of murdering 14-year-old Jodi Jones in a wooded area near Dalkeith, Scotland, on 30 June 2003. He has been serving a life sentence since 2005. The murder of Jodi Jones is perhaps one of the most popular murder cases in Scotland.
The Luke Mitchell Campaign announced the death of Corrine Mitchell. They said that Mitchell died on 9 July. She was laid to rest during a private funeral, which was attended by her family members and close friends. Mitchell firmly believed that her son was innocent and dedicated two decades to advocating the same. She maintained that Mitchell was wrongly convicted and left no stone unturned to campaign for her son and have the case reviewed.
