Paula's Diary
Diary
In court a picture was painted of Paula as a happy, bubbly
person who was full of life and most unlikely to commit suicide. However, prior to meeting Eddie, she
kept a five year diary which reveals a somewhat different person. In it she
writes of the abuse she suffered at the hands of a previous boyfriend, she writes of her
recurring depression and indicates a long affair she had with a married man. Paula Gilfoyle, it appears, concealed much about her true
feelings and actions from those around her.
This
diary was never given to the psychologist Professor David Canter when during the
Merseyside
Police Investigation they asked him for a report for the trial on whether or not
Paula was a candidate for suicide. Had Professor Canter been given the diary his
conclusions could easily have been very different.
