British graduate Lucy Harrison sh£t dead by her father after an argument over Donald Trump
A 23-year-old British graduate, Lucy Harrison, was sh-t dead by her father at his home in Prosper, Texas, just hours after the pair had argued about Donald Trump.
Lucy had been preparing to return to the UK on January 10, 2025, following a Christmas holiday in the US, which she spent with her boyfriend, Sam Littler. She was due to fly back to Manchester later that day.
A police report confirmed that Lucy died from gunsh-t wounds to the chest after being “sh-t by another person” from a “medium range” inside the property. Despite this, a grand jury later ruled that no one should be prosecuted.
Speaking after the decision, Lucy’s mother, Jane Coates, described the outcome as “baffling” and “beyond comprehension”.
At an inquest into her death, it was revealed for the first time that Lucy was fatally sh-t by her father in a bedroom at the house, with no one else present at the time.
The inquest heard that Lucy was “categorically anti-gun” and had raised concerns about the safety of her father owning a firearm, particularly with her young half-sisters living in the home. She had previously said it was unsafe for him to have a gun around children.
It was also disclosed that Lucy’s father had a long history of alcohol problems. In 2023, he suffered an алкоголь-related seizure that left him in a coma before entering rehabilitation. He later relapsed in 2024 and was said to have “lied” to Texas police about his drinking.
Her boyfriend, Sam Littler, told the inquest that Lucy had argued with her father on the morning of her death about Donald Trump. On the same day, the then president-elect received an unconditional discharge following his conviction over “hush money” paid to adult-film star Stormy Daniels.
Sam said the argument left Lucy “upset”, and he had to “console” her. However, later that day, Lucy and her half-sisters played happily in the snow before she and Sam packed their bags for their evening flight home.
Mr Littler said he had no concerns that Lucy’s father had been drinking that day, although he admitted he “always felt on edge” during visits.
“There was a lot of very opinionated people in the house,” he said.
He also told the court that Lucy’s father drove alone to the shops twice that morning, insisting no one join him because the snowy roads were “dangerous”. Sam said he did not see any alcohol brought back into the house.
According to Mr Littler, at around 3pm, as they were preparing to leave, Lucy’s father took her by the hand in a “mysterious manner” and led her into his downstairs bedroom without saying a word.
Sam was aware that a handgun was kept in a cabinet in that room, although he had never seen it.
Within 15 seconds, he heard a loud bang, which he initially believed was a “prank”. Moments later, he heard Lucy’s father screaming. Sam and his wife, Heather, rushed into the room and found Lucy collapsed on the floor.
Sam called 911 after spotting a gun on the corner of the bed, although he said he did not initially realise Lucy had been sh-t.
He also revealed that Lucy’s father had previously spoken about taking his gun out of its case when an outside security light came on and walking around “like James Bond”, only to discover the “intruder” was a raccoon. Sam said he did not know whether Lucy’s father had received any firearms training.
In a statement read to the court, Lucy’s friend Ella Gowing said Lucy had “confided” in her about her father’s “drink problem” and expressed concerns about “volatility” in his home.
She described the presence of a gun in the house as creating an “unpredictable environment” and said Lucy was “immediately really upset” when she learned her father had bought one.
“She could not understand why Kris would bring this into his home,” Ms Gowing said.
“She was categorically anti-gun.”
Lucy had also worried deeply about the safety of her younger half-sisters, saying she did not want them around something so dangerous.
Lucy’s mother became tearful as she gave evidence, telling the inquest that her daughter was unhappy about her father owning a gun, although there had been no specific incidents during previous visits.
She said Lucy’s father could become “bold” when under the influence of alcohol.
Ms Coates said she last spoke to her daughter 15 minutes before she was sh-t, at which point Lucy and her boyfriend were “packed up and ready to go”.
Lucy’s parents had separated when she was young, and her father had lived in the US since she was ten. After turning 18, Lucy visited Texas two to three times a year to see him and her half-sisters.
Paying tribute, her mother described Lucy as “a real force of life”, adding that she was “sensitive, energetic, intelligent, funny and a really great human being”.
“She was passionate about things and loved to have debates,” she said.
The inquest also heard that questions remain over Lucy’s father’s firearms training and whether he knew there was a bullet in the gun.
During the hearing at Cheshire Coroner’s Court, lawyers representing Lucy’s father unsuccessfully attempted to have senior coroner Jacqueline Devonshire step aside, accusing her of being “biased”.
However, the coroner rejected the application, stating there was no evidence of bias and confirming that Lucy’s father had been given opportunities to respond to the evidence. She also noted that he had “lied” to police in Texas about his drinking.
Lucy, a fashion buying graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University, had earned a first-class degree and secured her “dream job” as a buyer’s admin assistant at Boohoo.
An autopsy later confirmed she died from a single gunsh-t wound fired by another person. Tests showed she was negative for alcohol and drugs. She was pronounced dead at Baylor Scott and White Medical Centre at 3.47pm local time on January 10.
Prosper Police Department later confirmed the case had passed through the US courts with “no prosecution”.
Just hours before her death, Lucy had been posing for photographs in the snow.
In a joint tribute released by Cheshire Police, Lucy’s mother and boyfriend said:
“Lucy was life. She lived it fiercely and fearlessly, not being afraid to feel all that life has to offer. Lucy unashamedly loved – she had a huge capacity to love and be loved.”
“She was truly thriving in life and although this gives us great comfort, we are utterly heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful, gorgeous Luce.”
Lucy’s funeral was held at St Elphin’s Parish Church in Warrington, attended by more than 400 people.
“At Lucy’s funeral, my message to people was for them to continue to live their life fiercely and fearlessly like Lucy did,” her mother said.
“She wasn’t afraid. She wasn’t afraid to feel.”
The inquest is ongoing.

The 63-year-old was sentenced by Judge Carli Kierny, who ruled that he would receive credit for the time he has already spent in custody.

Davis was convicted in August of murder with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors had accused him of carrying out the killing to promote, further or assist a criminal gang, although they said the gang-related portion of the charge would be dismissed. He had pleaded not guilty to the charge.
During his sentencing hearing, Davis spoke briefly in court, asking for some of the belongings police seized from his home, including his photographs, to be returned to him. He told the judge that he had nothing else to say.
Following the sentencing, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said justice had been served for the late rapper and his family.
“Today, justice has been served for Tupac Shakur and his loved ones,” Wolfson said in a statement.
“While no amount of time in prison can bring Tupac back, we hope this sentencing brings some measure of closure and peace to his family after nearly 30 years. This case is a reminder that no matter how much time passes, our commitment to seeking justice never wavers.”
Shakur remains one of the most influential figures in hip-hop history. He died on September 13, 1996, six days after being shot while sitting in a vehicle at a red light in Las Vegas on September 7.
For years, the identity of those responsible for the shooting remained a major mystery. The case took a significant turn after Davis began speaking publicly about his presence inside a white Cadillac that investigators said had pulled up alongside Shakur’s vehicle on the night of the shooting.
During the trial, prosecutors argued that Davis had gone “hunting” for Shakur in retaliation against the rapper and Marion “Suge” Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal said Davis shot Shakur after the rapper and Knight had beaten up Davis’ nephew.
Prosecutors acknowledged that Davis had changed some details in his accounts over the years. However, they argued that key elements remained consistent, including his claim that he was inside the white Cadillac from which the fatal shots were fired.
Davis’ defence attorney, Michael Sanft, challenged the prosecution’s case, arguing that no evidence apart from his client’s own statements placed him in Las Vegas on the night of the shooting. He also pointed to the absence of surveillance footage, phone records and other physical evidence that could independently establish Davis’ presence at the scene.
Prosecutors said four men were inside the white Cadillac during the shooting. By the time Davis was arrested in 2023, he was the only surviving occupant, according to the prosecution. Another man whom prosecutors said had initially supplied the gun used in the shooting had also died.
Davis had previously described his involvement in the events leading to Shakur’s death in his 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend. His lawyers attempted to prevent the book from being admitted as evidence during the trial, but prosecutors opposed the request.

New York Man Pleads Guilty to Murdering Ex-Girlfriend and Hiding Her Severed Head in Suitcase With a Flower
Follow our whatsapp channel here
Foy killed Dale between March 31 and April 1, 2024, and placed her severed head inside a suitcase with a flower. He was arrested while investigators were working to establish what happened to Dale and locate her remains.

Deputies initially conducted a welfare check before opening a missing person investigation. When they visited Foy’s apartment on April 1, they found Dale’s car.
The following day, deputies returned to question Foy after a member of the public found Dale’s phone on the side of the road and handed it over to authorities. The discovery raised concerns that she might have been the victim of a crime.
During the investigation, Foy reportedly made a confession to officers who arrived at his home.
“She’s in there,” Foy whispered to investigators when they arrived at his home during the missing person investigation. “I killed her,” he added, according to court documents cited by the New York Post.
Investigators obtained a search warrant and searched Foy’s home. After shining a flashlight on a suitcase inside a closet, they “immediately noticed what appeared to be dried blood,” according to the documents.
“Officers opened the defendant’s suitcase and found Alberta Dale’s partial dismembered remains, including her severed head,” the court documents read, according to the New York Post.
“The remaining portions of her dismembered body were not located during the execution of the search warrant,” the documents add.
Foy was subsequently arrested and charged in connection with Dale’s death.
During a later interview with investigators, Foy said he “loved her,” according to the court documents.
He also spoke about their relationship, saying:
“The only thing she kept doing after the time throughout the whole relationship was just play me, play me like a fool, play me like a sucker, and just took advantage of the whole f–king system,” he said.
“That’s it. I was told to leave my own home. I was told to leave my own f–king home, not a bill in her name, and I was told to leave my own f–king home. Get out. Then it all started coming clearer to me,” he added.
When investigators asked him about the flower found inside the suitcase, Foy said he was thinking about “what still happened last night to take s— over the top.”
Court documents cited by the New York Post also indicated that Foy had a history of domestic violence against Dale.
Dale had previously warned authorities that “if she went missing it was because Foy killed her,” according to the court documents.
Under a plea agreement, Foy is expected to receive a prison sentence of 23 years to life, two years below the maximum of 25 years to life, according to the Daily Freeman.
His guilty plea brings a major development in the case surrounding Dale’s death, which began with concerns from her family about her disappearance in April 2024.
The traditional ruler served as the Amadabo of Moko-Ama in Sangana, Brass Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, from 2016 until his death.
Beyond his traditional leadership role, Kenibara VII also served as chairman of the Akassa Clan Council of Chiefs, a position he assumed after succeeding Chief Newton Igbani-Okuru.
His reported death has brought an end to his years of service as a traditional ruler and community leader.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
