Kyle's Law

Available for over a year

The family of a Telford man murdered by his estranged wife are calling for new laws governing who has rights over a victim's body. Kyle Pugh, from Telford, was murdered by Amy Pugh in March 2022 but despite being arrested and bailed days after his death, she was not charged with the crime until November 2024 and left to organise his funeral. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice said: "This was a horrendous crime and our condolences are with Kyle Pugh's family." They added coroners were independent, and that "bereaved families can raise concerns with the coroner's office and, where necessary, challenge decisions". BBC Radio Shropshire's Ellen Knight reports.
