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!

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.
