Grief to Fury: Mom Fights US Courts for Grandchild
30 Nov
Summary
- Mother fights US courts for custody of murdered daughter's baby.
- Daughter was brutally murdered in her Los Angeles home.
- Grandmother seeks to raise child on Scotland's Isle of Arran.
Grief has transformed into a fierce determination for Jill Bunyan, who is engaged in a transatlantic legal battle for custody of her five-month-old granddaughter, Regina. Her daughter, June, a promising Scottish law graduate, was brutally murdered and dismembered in her Los Angeles home approximately three months ago. Jill Bunyan is now fighting against the US legal system, aiming to bring Regina from California to the Isle of Arran, Scotland.
June Bunyan had moved to the US to pursue her dream of becoming a criminal defense attorney, establishing her own paralegal firm while studying for the bar. She married Jonathan Renteria, but just six weeks after Regina's birth, she was killed. Police allege Renteria confessed to killing June after an argument. He is currently held on $4 million bail, charged with murder and mutilation.
Jill Bunyan has found solace in the close-knit community of Arran, which has rallied around her. She is determined to ensure Regina is raised in the same loving environment where her mother grew up, surrounded by family and friends. The legal fight is ongoing, with Jill seeking legal advice to secure her granddaughter's future and protect her from further harm.
