Lauren Bradford-Clarke – being Colin Howell’s daughter
Lauren Bradford-Clarke grew up believing her mother Lesley had taken her own life before finding out the truth – her father was a murderer. She was told her mum Lesley took her own life, eventually being told it was part of an apparent ‘suicide’ pact with a man, Trevor Buchanan – the husband of the woman who would eventually become a mother-like figure to her. That woman was Hazel Stewart, how had been having an affair with Lauren’s father, Colin Howell. Then 18-years after the deaths, Colin Howell walked into a police station and confessed to murdering them, implicating Stewart as his partner in crime. Dr Lauren Bradford-Clarke, now a criminologist, spoke with the Belfast Telegraph’s Claire Williamson.
