In the heart of mountainous wilderness, Sarah and her lifelong friend, Emma, embarked on a day of exploration and natural wonder. Their plan was simple: immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the terrain, reconnecting with the untamed spirit of their youth. Little did they know, their adventure would lead to an unforeseen twist, involving Sarah’s husband, Jack.
Eager to share the exhilaration of their journey, Sarah paused to capture a moment of bliss, embracing her horse against the breathtaking backdrop of the mountains. She envisioned sharing the snapshot with Jack, her partner in life, who, regrettably, couldn’t accompany them that day.
As Sarah shared the photo online, a rush of excitement coursed through her veins, anticipating Jack’s reaction to their mountain escapade. However, her anticipation swiftly dissolved into disbelief when Jack’s distressed voice pierced through the phone line mere moments later.

Having stumbled upon the photo, Jack’s trust wavered, prompting him to reach out to Emma for confirmation of Sarah’s whereabouts. Emma’s unexpected response shattered the illusion Sarah had meticulously crafted—she was nowhere near the mountains, but rather occupied with mundane tasks of daily life.
In that crushing moment, Sarah realized the gravity of her deception and the irreparable breach of trust it caused. Despite her earnest attempts to explain and reconcile, Jack remained resolute in his decision.
The aftermath was devastating as Jack made the painful choice to sever ties, unraveling the fabric of their marriage. A seemingly innocuous photo became the harbinger of their relationship’s demise, serving as a poignant reminder of the fragility of trust and the consequences of deceit.
As Sarah navigated the tumultuous aftermath, she couldn’t shake the profound regret that shadowed her every step. Her tale stands as a cautionary testament to the profound impact of honesty and the perilous path of betrayal in matters of the heart.
The mom who stabbed her baby to death is found dead in prison
Six years into her 17-year-long sentence for stabbing her baby with a pair of scissors, Rachel Tunstill dies in prison.
Back in 2017, she stabbed her baby girl, Mia Kelly, more than 15 times in the bathroom of their Burnley home and threw her lifeless body in a bin.
Tunstill was initially convicted of murder and handed a life sentence with minimum term of 20 years, but a re-trial proved the jury in the case should have been offered a verdict of infanticide to consider. During the re-trial she was once again convicted of murder and put behind bars for a minimum of 17 years.
“HMP Styal prisoner Rachel Tunstill died in custody on 1 August 2023. As with all deaths in custody, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will investigate,” a spokesperson from the Prison Service confirmed the news of her passing.

At the time she gave birth, her boyfriend was playing video games in the next room. She then told him she had a miscarriage and asked for the scissors after which she remorselessly stabbed the baby to death.
At the time of sentencing, the judge, Mr Justice King, said: “This must have been a sustained and frenzied attack on a victim who because of her age was particularly vulnerable. Her duty to her newborn baby was to cradle and comfort her – not to stab her to death.
“There was here in my judgement concealment of the body, albeit short-lived and in addition there was undoubtedly the indignity which was wrought upon the body by disposing of it in the way she did.”

Tunstill was a university master’s graduate in forensic psychology.
“She showed no emotion or remorse for stabbing her baby to death,” said Mr Justice King.
