DIANE Lomax's involvement with former stripper Adrian Sinclair drew her into the bizarre and twisted world of Heather Stephenson-Snell.
The mother-of-two became the target for the psychotherapist's hate campaign, regularly getting abusive phone calls and the becoming the target for her ultimate crime.
She met Mr Sinclair, who originally came from Farnworth, in October 2002 through mutual friends. They started what was described in court as a sometimes volatile relationship, with police called out by neighbours when loud arguments got out of hand. Just days after Mr Wilkie's murder, the strain on their troubled partnership took its toll and the pair split up.
Ms Lomax has since moved from Holland Street.
Mr Sinclair claims he has become a hate figure in Radcliffe.
