Husband reports wife missing 7 days before body discovered in suitcase
Paul Grabham reported wife Kirsty, 24, missing on March 30, 2009, exactly seven days before a lorry driver discovered her remains inside a suitcase near the M4 in Porthcawl. Investigators reveal the killer concealed Kirsty’s body using the pink suit carrier she purchased for her February 2008 wedding. Authorities identified the victim after finding her wrapped in bin liners within luggage dumped 20 miles from their Swansea home, launching a high-profile murder inquiry.
