Police officers launched a search for the mother, but she was initially categorized as a low-risk missing person, even though she is in a wheelchair due to a leg amputation.
Six days after her disappearance, her risk level was raised to medium, prompting police to search her home in Swansea, check local hospitals and review CCTV footage.
After learning that Kelly’s wheelchair had been spotted outside a property in Clas y Dera, in the Waunarlwydd area of Swansea, police concentrated their search efforts there.
Alfred Millman, the owner of the house, allowed officers to enter his property where they found a wheelchair in one of the bedrooms and blood stains on a sweater, mattress, sheets and bed frame.
A mountain of rubbish and debris at the back of the Welsh property attracted the attention of extra officers called to the scene.
Among the debris, one officer spotted clothing, a tennis shoe and what appeared to be a human hand.
Kelly’s body is tragically discovered and Mr Millman is immediately arrested on suspicion of her murder.
However, DC Minto told the inquest that “no evidence was found to suggest that Kelly’s death was suspicious”.
The hearing was also told that Mrs Randall had a history of drug addiction and was taking medication at the time of her death.
She was also known for self-harm and suffered from depression.
A statement read at the inquest, written by Ms Randall’s partner of 25 years, said they would both use heroin and Valium.
On the day she was last seen, paramedics took Ms Randall to Morriston Hospital after she fell from her wheelchair, the statement added.
The inquest was told that she spoke of suicide that day and spoke of “throwing herself out of her wheelchair in front of cars”.
The inquest also heard about Ms Randall’s history of drug addiction and her ongoing medication regimen at the time of her death. Known for self-harming, she struggled with depression.
After his arrest, the inquest heard Mr Millman told officers: “The body in the garden is hers (Miss Randall). She would come over and make the tea and occasionally clean for me.
“At 4:30 in the morning [on May 16, 2022] I was looking for a house [cigarette] papers. I found her body in the bedroom under the covers.
“She was lying on her side. Her face was purple. I tried to clean her face. I knew she was dead because she was so cold.
“I panicked. I didn’t know what to do. I put it outside where there was trash.
“God knows how long she’s been there, because I’m hardly in the bedroom.
“I was scared, I should have called the police, I was in a panic.
“I had nothing to do with her death. I know she had a drug problem.”
In addition, he mentioned that he had not used the bedroom where Ms. Randall was found for approximately two or three weeks, claiming that he had moved her body into the open using a belt and clothesline.
He insisted, “I didn’t do anything wrong,” and went on to clarify that while he wasn’t sure how she got to his residence, she did have a key to the property.
Speaking at the inquest, forensic pathologist Dr John Williams said he could not be sure exactly when Mrs Randall died, explaining that decomposition suggested she died before May 16, 2022, but that it could have happened on the day she was last seen. seen or in the days that followed.
According to the examination of the autopsy of Mrs. Randall had no skull fractures, no bleeding around the brain, and no evidence of a stroke, heart attack or head injury.
A toxicology report showed 128mg of alcohol per 100ml in Ms Randall’s blood.
The legal limit for driving under the influence of alcohol is 80 mg. Other substances in her blood included cannabis, amphetamine, morphine, diazapam and pregabalin.
dr. Williams said he “could not rule out the possibility” that the substances together could have had a “sedating effect” or played a “significant” role in Miss Randall’s death.
dr. Williams added that there were “no pathological findings that Kelly’s death was necessarily the result of violent injury by another person,” but said he “couldn’t prove that her death was the result of drug toxicity.”
For these reasons, Dr. Williams said the cause of death was undetermined.
Citing evidence given by Assistant Coroner Dr Williams, Mr Gruffydd recorded an open conclusion.
