Ammon News - Two sisters who were separated as children after their dad murdered their mum with a hammer have reunited after 51 years apart.

Janet Brocklehurst and Theresa Fazzani were five and seven when their mum Helen Barnes was bludgeoned to death by her husband Malcolm at their Newport home on 27 December 1973.

Janet and two younger sisters were adopted and moved to Somerset, but Theresa was taken in by her family when it was revealed Barnes was not her biological dad.

For more than half a century, the sisters did not know if each other was alive, let alone where they lived, until a Facebook group helped Theresa track down her sisters in July 2025.
