Like to many others I have shed tears for Brenda today.

I think something good and positive may come out of all of this though. I think there will have been many well-heeled lawyers called out today to work out how best to shield their clients. I am confident though that Brenda will leave a lasting legacy and that a new order will prevail from now on. I do hope I am right.

I can't do it, the comments on there are basically saying she brought it on herself.

If there was to be a police investigation then leave it to the police, not friggin Martin Brunt!

She did not bring it on herself.......are these people really that stupid!!!!!

I expressed my condolences (about an hour ago) and expressed the wish that Brenda's soul rests in peace. As of now, my comment has received 418 RED ARROWS - a lot of hateful people in this world.

It is a very sad that Brenda Leyland has apparently chosen not to continue her life. She has, it would appear according to the Daily Mail, chosen to commit suicide instead of facing up to the things she has done under the pseudonym of “Sweepyface”.

This woman, in her sixties, was so devastated at being found out as the person behind the disgusting and abusive tweets posted under that pseudonym that she felt she had to take this drastic step.

She actually made two clear choices. The first was to deliberately inflict a sustained hate campaign on two innocent people. She followed the other haters and spread the same lies and abuse as them with no compunction at all. Her Facebook posts show that her opinions about the McCanns were, at least in part, based on the lies spread by the haters and not upon actual truth.

She claimed that she was entitled to do this when confronted. The truth was, I suspect, deep down she recognised she was not entitled to do it at all.

Having been confronted over her actions, actions which are not in dispute at all, she made her second decision. She chose not to face up to the consequences of her actions having been exposed.

No-one forced her to choose to post abuse and no-one forced her to take her final action. I am very sorry for her family who have to face the consequences of her actions.

I woud like to express my condolences to Brenda Leyland's family and friends. She must have been overwhelmed with distress after the chaos of the past couple of days. Talk about being hounded to death. May her soul rest in peace.

This woman was harassed by Martin Brunt and exposed as a " troll" WHY??? Because, like me and thousands of other people, she does not believe that Madeleine was abducted. Until the truth is exposed there will always be those who believe that the McCanns are guilty of being complicit in their daughter's disappearance. This woman to my knowledge did not really threaten the McCanns so why did Mr.Brunt hound her. She looked a really lovely lady. I am so sad for her and her family. We will not go away. We need to know what our tax payers money is paying for. We need the McCanns to request Portugal to re-open the case, answer the questions they refused to answer, do a reconstruction do a lie detector test - anything to clear their names - otherwise we shall continue to disbelieve them and be convinced that there is a huge cover up. Martin Brunt I wonder if you will be able to live with yourself - shame on you!

sky is pardon the pun dead silent about this

**kitti** Sun 5 Oct - 20:13

At the end off the day, if two people had told the truth in he beginning none off this would off happened.

Brenda would still be sitting in her lovely back garden in her lovely village surrounded by her lovely friends.

What hurt her the most....the friends she thought were her friends....abandoned her when she needed them most .

Thats my opinion anyway.

Sorry to say this BUT do you really think the Mccanns will give a stuff she has taken her life....they will still be on the first plane bound for Lisbon In The hope off getting g their grubby little hands on that 1m.

Sky news will be calling her a dead troll now like the mail....that's if they mention it at all

The article states, "The death is not being treated as suspicious." I know that is the term used in a case of suicide but somehow without the events of the last few days, I suspect it would not have happened.

**kitti** Sun 5 Oct - 20:21

Off course it wouldn't off happened.

She left her lovely house I supposed because she didn't want her family finding her In that house or she didn't want them having the horrible memory off her commiting suicide there.

So actually she was selfless to the end.

Guest Sun 5 Oct - 20:26

Sadly, I think her death will be in vain. It will be a case of "evil troll got what she deserved. Poor, poor McCanns." Nobody will be investigated and nothing will happen. The only good to come of it will be that Crunt and his media cronies might think twice before doing it to anybody else.

Sky not reporting it is disgusting.

People saying she brought it on herself, is like saying a woman who dresses provactively deserves to be raped.
