11 Dec
Summary
- Husband dismembered wife's body into 224 parts.
- Killer husband hired friend to help dispose of remains.
- Mother campaigns for animal cruelty registry after tragedy.
Nicholas Metson received a 19-year sentence for the horrific murder of his wife, Holly Bramley, whom he dismembered into 224 parts after killing her. He meticulously hid her remains for nearly a week before enlisting a friend, Joshua Hancock, to help dispose of the body parts. Hancock received over three years for his involvement.
Before the brutal killing, Metson subjected Holly to severe abuse, including the murder of their pets. He blended one hamster, drowned their puppy, and killed three kittens. Despite Holly reporting these incidents to the police, Metson manipulated her into retracting the complaints.
Holly's mother, Annette, is now spearheading a campaign for "Holly's Law," advocating for a national animal cruelty registry. She believes red flags regarding Metson's animal cruelty should have prevented the tragedy, highlighting the connection between animal abuse and domestic violence.
