EMILIANO SALA'S SISTER CONDEMN ASHFORD AND BRAY AS "SICK"

The sister of footballer Emiliano Sala has described two people who accessed images of his post-mortem as "evil"


Sherry Bray, 49, and her employee Christopher Ashford, 62, have admitted illegally accessing mortuary footage of the Argentine striker's body


Romina Sala said her family was left devastated after images began to leak on to Instagram days after his body was recovered from the English Channel.

She said: "I cannot believe there are people so wicked and evil."

Her comments were in a victim impact statement that was read to Swindon Crown Court during the sentencing hearing of Bray and Ashford.

Ms Sala, who lives in Argentina, said: "I phoned Emiliano's agent and told him what was circulating on the internet. I called our brother, Dario, and he did not want to see the photos.

"I tried to keep images off social networks. My mother could not see those horrible photos."

She said it was "sad" because "people were making jokes about it".

"I'll never erase the images from my head. My brother and mother can never forget about this," she said.

"It's hard for me to live with this image."


Christopher Ashford and Sherry Bray both admitted three counts of computer misuse


Sala had just signed for Cardiff City when the plane he was travelling in crashed into the English Channel, north of Guernsey, on 21 January.

His body was recovered on 6 February and a post-mortem examination took place at Bournemouth Borough Mortuary the following day.

Bray, of Corsham, and Ashford, of Calne, each admitted three counts of computer misuse in August.

Bray also admitted perverting the course of justice by instructing Ashford to "delete your pics", deleting the post-mortem cameras from the live feed camera facility and deleting the mortuary image of Mr Sala from her phone.

They will be sentenced on Monday.

And she is right,f@cking pair of low life scum,hope they get time .

They'll definitely get custodial sentence.

Depends on how long

Romina Sala is right; these two people are truly 'sick' and more so due to their positions within the company that was tasked with securing the privacy of the deceased

It is equally sad that (and not just in this case) there are people out there who would laugh with rather than condemn the actions of these two reprobates that outside of their workplace would probably have others believing butter wouldn't melt in their mouths

For me, it doesn't matter what the outcome of their sentencing is on Monday; the damage to both individuals reputations and (hopefully) standing in their own community will see them embarrassed beyond

Thankfully, the vast majority (with one or two deliberate exceptions) on this Forum have been superb over the whole matter and the respect shown towards the player, his family and their situation has been exceptional

Those are the Cardiff City supporters that I have known over the years; tough when it matters but possibly the most understanding and supportive group in times of tragedy and hardship

If and when the loathsome couple get locked up, the key should be thrown away.
