Deeley was a student at the University of South Wales when he attacked June in her home in November 2021.
He is a paranoid schizophrenic who was reportedly obsessed with ‘Satan and demons,’ carrying out the killing of June ten days after leaving his student accommodation.
Deeley was sentenced to indefinite detention in hospital after pleading guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
He was reported missing by his parents and mental health workers before carrying out the gruesome killing of an apparent stranger.
June was a ‘kind-hearted and generous’ mother to her three grown-up children – Trisha, Sebastian and Abigail.
She was also a grandmother and great-grandmother to a little girl who was born earlier that month and she sadly never got the chance to meet.
June was from the village of Llantwit Fardre, near Pontypridd, south Wales, where she was ‘well-liked by everyone.’
She was the director of her family’s IT firm and also ran a nearby café called June’s Cakes and Shakes.
The grandmother had plans to build her dream bungalow to retire to in and planned a beautiful garden and allotment to escape to.
