The widow of a victim of violence and a missing woman's mum are joining forces to start a new group in Bradford aimed at fighting for justice in the legal system.

The organisation - Bradford Against Injustice - wants to help people who feel they have been treated unfairly by the judicial system.

Elizabeth Wint-Swaby, whose husband Godfrey was found stabbed to death in Lumb Lane on February 2, 1998, claims justice was not done when the man who killed her husband was sentenced for a lesser charge of manslaughter.

And Felicia Daniel is planning to ask the Attorney General to reopen the inquest into the death of a woman identified as her missing daughter Donna.

She was told in 1996 that the woman had been found dead in a refuge in Kent three years earlier and had been cremated.

But Mrs Daniel, landlady of the Queen's Pub in Lumb Lane, believes her daughter could still be alive and she has been trying to get the investigation re-opened.

The two have been joined by Bradford woman Christine Marsden to form the new group, which will be launched during a candle-lit vigil at Canterbury Community Centre on February 6 between 6pm and 8pm.

And on February 1 at 11am Mrs Wint-Swaby, of Seldon Street, on the Canterbury estate, will lay a wreath at the spot in Jinnah Court, off Lumb Lane, where her husband of 12 months was found dead after an argument in the West End Bar.

The Bar's disc jockey, Phillip Edwards, appeared in Bradford Crown Court last year charged with murdering the 49-year-old former Jamaican policeman. During the trial he entered a guilty plea to manslaughter on the grounds of provocation.

"No-one told me when the inquest was being held so I missed it and I couldn't sit in on the whole trial," said Mrs Wint-Swaby.
