Grieving mother who launched national campaign passes away

DIANA Lamplugh, who launched a national campaign for the safety of the individual after the disappearance of one of her daughters, has passed away. She was 75.

Mrs. Lamplugh was spurred to begin her campaign after her daughter, estate agent Suzy (25), disappeared in July, 1986.

She had arranged to show a house in the Fulham area of London to a man who called himself ‘Mr. Kipper’, but never returned to her office.

A massive police investigation was carried out but Ms. Lamplugh was never found and is presumed to have been murdered.

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust was established to battle for personal safety. Issues taken-up by the Trust included the licensing of minicabs in London and for stalking to be recognised as a criminal offence.

Mrs. Lamplugh battled tirelessly on behalf of the Trust.

She was appointed O.B.E. in 1992.
