A heartbroken grandmother has revealed how her life changed forever when her beloved younger sister was brutally murdered. Josephine Rule, 71, adored her younger sister, Joy Boulton, growing up, and the pair would speak on the telephone every day. In May 2023, Joy, 59, who lived in Ash, Surrey, was bludgeoned to death by her fiancé Trevor Dibnah's ex-partner - jealous love rival Sara McKenzie.

McKenzie, 62, hated Joy for 'stealing' her man after a year-long love triangle, and battered her to death in her own home in the quiet town. Josephine continues to mourn the tragic death of her sister, calling McKenzie, who showed no remorse in court, 'pure evil'.

A retired housekeeper who worked at a children's home, Josephine said: 'Sara's motive was simple, she wanted what Joy had. 'Thinking of Joy's last moments in agony, I hope Sara rots in prison. 'I don't want my beloved sister to be remembered by this. She had a heart of gold and a hole has been left in my family's hearts that can never be filled.

'No sentence will bring her back.'. Joy Boulton (pictured) was murdered in May 2023 by Sara McKenzie, the jealous ex-partner of her fiancé Trevor Dibnah. Josephine, from Aldershot, Surrey, has three children, 18 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Her younger sister Joy, however, had no children and lived alone for many years.
