Newly-wed Chanel was found dead at her New Street home shortly after she and her husband Lee (22) returned from a Mexican honeymoon.

Terry Rodgers shot his daughter in the back and twice in the head with a sawn-off shotgun in July 2004 –– but never revealed why he murdered her.

He went on hunger-strike while on remand in Lincoln Prison after being charged with murdering his 23-year-old daughter.

Rodgers, who was captured following a massive manhunt across local woodland, was still awaiting trial when he died in Lincoln County Hospital on 25th February 2006.

But in a letter to Chad's sister newspaper the Hucknall Dispatch, Chanel's angry mother Anne Macpherson said Rodgers should have been made to face justice.

The letter read: "I am writing regarding the Dispatch vote two weeks ago, asking readers to decide on whether prison officers should have forcibly ended the hunger strike of Rodgers before he died and before he could face prosecution in court for executing my daughter.

"To the 26 per cent who voted yes, I thank you for support that Chanel should have had justice.

"To the 74 per cent who said no, I hope you never hear the cruellest words any mother can be told.

"That their child is dead and won't get any justice because of a human right to starve yourself when on a charge of murder.

"Rodgers should have been force-fed and made to stand trial.

"If they knew it was his intention to escape a prison sentence, why did they prolong the case?

"Had it been a convicted prisoner, like Ian Brady, would it have been his human right to go on hunger strike?

"Remand prisoner or not, Rodgers committed a killing. He did not take his own life because of remorse but because he could not do the sentence.

"The only good thing to come out of this is the lowlife won't be able to appeal or get early release, because now he's rotting in hell. And even hell is too good for him."

Rodgers had not eaten solid food for more than 130 days before his death and died from bronchial pneumonia as a result of 'severe undernutrition'.
