A mum and nan was found dumped in an area of wasteland yards from busy streets after suffering a brutal and cruel death 17 years ago this week.
The brutalised body of Ann Marie Foy, 46, was found on a patch of land at the junction of Crown Street and West Derby Street, Liverpool city centre, where the new Royal Liverpool Hospital building stands today, on September 15, 2005.
Miss Foy had battled with addiction over the years and had turned to sex work, but had tried several times to get clean. She was also remembered by others in similar situations for her kindness and "maternal instinct" towards younger working girls.
