The Heartbreaking Story of Liam Deane and Baby Luna
Liam Deane, just 22 years old and from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, became the center of a tragedy that shook a community—and a nation—to its core. In a devastating act of uncontrolled anger, he took the life of his newborn daughter, Luna, who was only two days old. The sheer horror of this unthinkable crime left Luna’s mother and family shattered beyond words, their world forever broken.
