A MURDERED mum-of-three, 38, who was found stuffed in the freezer had written a letter to Jeremy Kyle begging for help before she was killed.

Mihrican’s devastated sister Mel Mustafa and cousin Ayse Hussein say she was preyed upon by Younis after spiralling into drug addiction, reports the Mirror.
After her disappearance in May 2018, her family found 60 of her diaries, including a letter former ITV star Jeremy Kyle, that never got sent.
Mel said: “All she writes in her diary is she wants rehab.
“She begged and begged and begged for someone to help her.
“She even wrote to Jeremy Kyle for help but she never posted it.
“I tried to get her help and even arranged two rehab appointments.”
Younis targeted vulnerable women like Mihrican and Henriett Szucs, who was also found dead in the freezer.
CRY FOR HELP
Both women had drug-related problems and had been through periods of homelessness.
Mel added: “She was vulnerable.
“She had argued with a couple of friends and they had kicked her out and she had argued with her family.
“So if he was giving her attention she would have jumped at it.”
After moving back in with her widowed mum in Canning Town, Mihrican made friends with the ‘wrong crowd’ and she ended up addicted to drugs.
Ayse said: “She had just split up with her boyfriend and she wrote in her diary that she was told to try the drugs and it would make her feel better.
“She didn’t even know what it was. She didn’t even smoke before this.”
Mel added: “She wrote in her diary that she didn’t know what she was taking but she took it and it solved all her problems and made her feel better.”
Body cam footage showed the horror moment cops search through Younis’ lair, trudging through his clutter-filled flat.
DRUG ADDICTION
The clip does not show the officers opening the freezer, but one can be heard saying: “It’s the freezer I want to get into but it’s locked.”
The freezer was found in a small cupboard containing a gas and electricity meter with items stacked on top and flies gathering.
When horrified cops finally busted open the appliance at the killer’s home in Canning Town, East London, the clothed bodies were fused on top of each other surrounded by air fresheners.
Both were decomposing rapidly after the electricity was shut off and were found to have suffered horror injuries – including multiple broken ribs.
In a letter to her mum, Jan’s devastated 11-year-old daughter said she cried her eyes out when she didn’t return for her birthday celebrations.
It has been revealed Younis, 35, has a gruesome history of abusing women after he was found guilty of two counts of murder.
