I feel ‘strangely blessed’ mum’s body was found soon after murder
Star’s sympathy for families of missing women
JANEY Godley has opened up about her mother’s death – saying watching documentaries about missing women made her feel “strangely blessed”.
The comedian’s mum, Annie Currie, was found dead in the Clyde in the 80s.
Janey claims Annie’s violent partner, Peter Greenshields, was to blame for her mother’s death.
Whi l e watc h i n g a documentary about women who have been missing for years, Janey felt she wanted to speak out.
She posted on social media: “Watching documentaries about women who went missing and years later their body is found, makes me feel strangely blessed that my mum’s body was found in the River Clyde four days after she went missing. I didn’t have to wait years.
“Some women were never found and, although I still miss Annie (my mum), I am at peace that we never spent decades wondering where she is. That is such a trauma for families.”
Janey has previously spoken about her mum’s tragic death in one of her podcast episodes.
The man she believes killed her mother has since died.
She said: “Peter had been put in prison before he met my mum for beating up women but my mum always told me it wasn’t true. She told me he’d killed a swan and cooked it once.
“Mum also told me to never argue back with Peter.
“One night I found my mum lying on Peter’s living room floor – he was about to attack her with an axe.
“One Friday night my mum went missing and she’s been with Peter. On the Monday morning her body was found in the River Clyde.
“Police said there was no evidence to suggest Peter had done it.”
