April 17, 2009

The mother of a prominent ME sufferer and campaigner has been charged with the attempted murder of her daughter.

Lynn Gilderdale, 31,  was found dead at her home in Stonegate, near Heathfield, East Sussex, on 4 December.

Sussex Police said Kathleen Gilderdale, 54, of Stonegate, had been charged with her daughter’s attempted murder between December 2 and 4.

She has been bailed to appear at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

Following Ms Gilderdale’s death her family issued a statement through Sussex Police which described her as “young, beautiful, loving and caring.”

Ms Gilderdale was diagnosed with ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, aged 14. The condition left her bedridden.

The ME Association estimates that 250,000 people are affected by the condition in the UK.
