TODAY marks the second anniversary of the disappearance of Highworth mother-of-four Linda Razzell.

Although her body has never been found, her estranged husband Glyn, a former investments manager with Swindon-based Zurich Financial Services, is currently serving a life sentence for her murder at HMP Gartree in Leicestershire.

Now her four young children, who are being cared for by relatives in South Wales, have said they want to honour their mother's memory by creating a charitable trust fund in her name the proceeds of which will go towards helping the victims of domestic violence in Third World countries.

Christ Church in Old Town will be lit up tonight in her memory and her boyfriend Greg Worrall is expected to lay flowers in the alley where she was last seen.

Linda, who was 41 when she vanished, appeared in court a month before she was murdered to accuse her estranged husband of unlawfully wounding her.

She claimed he had repeatedly smashed her head against a plate glass window, but a jury acquitted him.
