JUSTICE 4 SIAN

My name is Siân Stephanie Batchelor. I was found deceased on Tuesday 30th April 2024, I was only 32 years of age.

I don’t know what happened to me, but, I do know I was found on the riverbed in Pennar, Pembroke Dock. The river is tidal so I don’t know how I ended up there. I was fully clothed except I didn’t have any shoes on. I usually wore boots but I cannot remember why they weren’t on my feet.

As the tide was going out, it must have grounded me where I was found, I don’t know how I died. But I do know I was with people shortly before my death.

None of my so called ‘best friends’ informed my family that I was missing. I know if they had my dad would’ve come looking for me. You see, I was meant to have sent a text message to a few people a couple of days before I died, saying I’d had enough. Had they informed my dad I know he would have searched all over for me. Instead, no one came looking for me, why?

I don’t know why I sent those messages because those people wasn’t close to me.

My friends at the time weren’t really good citizens and some will say they are the last people I should have been hanging around with. My life took a turn in the wrong direction and I became very lost and for a while the lost became the norm for me. Those friends knew I was lost and have even said that they loved me.

However, if someone truly loves you, they would look for you, wouldn’t they? I know they all didn’t look for me, possibly because they knew where I was all along, but if they had looked for me or alerted my family or even emergency services, I may not have died. But they kept quiet.

For the last couple of months of my life I was used and abused by those so called friends who said they loved me. A few days before I died I was beaten up badly and because of my lostness, I became homeless through no fault of my own.

My lifeless body was found at 5.30pm on that day by someone walking their dog. It has been so hard for my family, my two children and my real true friends.

A few weeks later my phone was found near to where I was found. There are a number of messages on there that are not clear to me.

At the moment, it seems my death will become another statistic, another one bites the dust and another ‘open and shut case’. But I don’t want my passing to become another, as still, there is so much confusion surrounding my death. I wish I could be there and say what happened to me, but I can’t. But other people can. I know they can. They know they can. I don’t want my death to become ‘unexplained’, because I know that there are explanations, the truth must be told in order for all these unanswered questions to bring some closure to my truly loved ones.

My family and friends have set up this fund in order for me to have a legally represented inquest. The scope of the inquest will thoroughly look into the last few weeks/months of my life and most importantly, those who failed me in terms of preventing my death. It doesn’t matter if you can only afford £1, this will help towards finding the answers for my family in which they truly deserve.
