- By Geraldine McKelvie by Phil Cardy

AGONY: A HOSPITAL has admitted wrongly giving a mum four rounds of chemothera­py which could have killed her.

Jodi Huggett, 41, suffered sideeffect­s and twice went into ana- THE luxury home where Sadie Hartley was stabbed to death has been put up for sale by her heartbroke­n family.

The five-bedroom property is on the market for £535,000 but the estate agent’s blurb makes no mention of the horrific murder by evil Sarah Williams in January.

Businesswo­man Mrs Hartley’s love-rat partner Ian Johnston has complained of having “lost everything” after being kicked out of the house and left out of her will.

The mum- of- two, 60, was stunned with a 500,000 volt gun and knifed 41 times in a frenzied attack by Williams, 35, after opening the front door of her home in Helmshore, Lancs.

Williams had become fixated with her former lover – and Mrs Hartley’s partner – ski-instructor Mr Johnston, 57.

The killer and accomplice Katrina Walsh, 56, spent 17 months plotting the “perfect murder” before carrying out the attack in an “orgy of violence”.

This month both were jailed for life after a seven- week trial at Preston Crown Court. Williams must serve at least 30 years and Walsh 25 years.

Last week it was reported Walsh had continuall­y tried to blame the murder on Williams – even claiming her ex-pal planned to poison her with prawns. After the verdict, Mr phylactic shock. As a fifth chemo cycle loomed she felt so weak she researched her illness online.

She contacted experts at London’s Royal Free Hospital who told her chemo would not work on tumours of her kind.

Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust has now agreed to pay damages to Jodi, a Johnston said Mrs Hartley’s family gave him a day to get out of her house after learning of the killing. The trial heard Mr Johnston started an affair with Williams after meeting her at Manchester’s Chill Factore indoor ski slope in December 2012. It was over by October 2014 but bitter Williams later wrote to Mrs Hartley to expose the affair. She described having “unbelievab­ly fantastic” sex with Mr Johnston.

Mr Johnston told the court he had not met Williams again after the letter, sent a year before the murder, but admitted being “foolish” in sending explicit messages 10 days before the horrific attack. After the trial he sobbed: “There’s been no contact with Sadie’s family from the minute they found out she was dead. “I’ve lost everything. Can you imagine? This eight months has just been the most horrendous, you just get a kicking every day and I want the kicking to stop and I know it won’t for a while. “And if anybody wants to blame that on a few ridiculous, bloody texts then it’s just outrageous. There was nothing I could do to foresee or stop this. I wasn’t culpable in the death of Sadie.” Mrs Hartley’s body was found in the hallway of her home. The estate agent calls the property ideal for a profession­al family: “A substantia­l five bedroom detached family home in a highly regarded woodland setting.” renewables company director. She said: “I was on my knees. I felt so poorly that I decided to look into my treatment myself.

“The Royal Free told me chemo has never been proven to work on a tumour like the one I had and never will be. It was heartbreak­ing.”
