In the UK, a wealthy divorcee was brutally murdered and had her body mutilated by the same man who engaged in sexual activity with her only hours before her death. Over the course of their 20-month affair, Diana Lee had given David Ryan £70, 000 who would leave his wife at home to go and have secret meetings with Diana. However, her last encounter with David went completely unexpected as he beat her to death then proceeded to mangle her body with a saw, thinking it would destroy DNA evidence. He then took her mutilated body into her garage and set it on fire, planning to frame her lodger.
Upon his plan to frame the lodger, Ryan left garments of Lee’s in the lodgers room along with smearing her blood on his German Army SS dagger, with the intent to make it appear that he had stabbed her. Ryan’s attempt to destroy to body failed when the fire subsided and didn’t take hold as planned, Lee’s brother then uncovered the tragic mess a few short hours later. Still an ongoing case, Diana Lee’s tragic murder will not be forgotten.
