Danielle 's youngest daughter goes to the same school as my son and I wanted to start this site for all those who knew her. If at any point her own family wish to take over please just email me and I will give you all the info for it. My heart goes out to her family and friends right now. So very very sad. Can not stop thinking of the girls and what they must be going through. A double lose for them.
local paper report
A SHOCKED community is coming to terms with the violent death of mum Danielle Powell.

Danielle, who was thought to be 29, died after suffering multiple stab wounds at her family's Poole home in the early hours of Saturday.

Police were called to the block, at Goathorn Close, Turlin Moor, Hamworthy, after neighbours reported a domestic disturbance.

Danielle was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics - it is thought she was stabbed at least 27 times with a large knife.

It is believed Danielle would have celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday.

Neighbours say she lived with her husband and three children, and they think her three girls were in the flat at the time of the knife attack.

One neighbour said: "The family have lived here for a number of years and we would see the young girls playing quite often.

"A lot of people come and go in this area, with people moving in and out all the time, but there is a sense of community here. At the moment there is just this feeling of disbelief in the air.

"We simply cannot believe this has happened. Obviously our thoughts now are with the children, who I think are being looked after by other family members."

Detectives from Dorset's Major Crime Investigation Team are leading the investigation.

Yesterday, a large blue tarpaulin still covered the first-floor flat's exterior as forensic teams worked to establish exactly what happened.

One shocked resident said: "Everybody's hearts go out to the children now. This is such a sad thing to happen."

Neighbour Paul Rolls, 38, told the Echo: "One of the neighbours next-door said she heard the girls screaming at some stage in the morning.

"She said the girls came downstairs and found their mum."


A 38-year-old man, arrested on Saturday in Newport, Gwent, in connection with the incident, remains in police custody as the investigation continues.

DAUGHTERS' TRIBUTES TO MOTHER
By James Morton 17 April 2008.

YOU were the best mum in the world.

These are the heartbreaking last words from the 11-year-old daughter of murdered Hamworthy mother-of-three Danielle Powell.

Danielle, who would have turned 30 on Monday April 14, was found dead at her flat in Goathorn Close, Turlin Moor, on the morning of Saturday April 12.

Each of her three daughters have written letters to their devoted mum, who was a full-time student at Kingston Maurward agricultural college studying a degree in animal behaviour and welfare.

Danielle's 11-year-old daughter Georgie wrote: "You were the best mum in the world. I really miss you so much and I wish that you were here right now.

"Each day I think of you and it still makes me cry."

The 13-year-old daughter Adele said she wants to follow in her mum's footsteps by passing an animal welfare degree.

She wrote: "I am going to pass no matter how long it takes or whatever it takes. I am going to do it for you.

"I hope you are happy up in heaven watching over us with Simba the cat at your side."

Danielle's 12-year-old daughter Ashlie said her mum was a generous and loving person.

She wrote: "You have put a lot of good memories in everyone's heads and you always did a lot for people.

"You always put a smile on people's faces, even when they were sad."

A statement from Danielle's mother, father, and older brother and sister said her children were a credit to her.

"You grew into a wonderful woman and a best friend to many people - a caring mother always wanting the best for her children," said the statement.

"You touched so many hearts in your brief lifetime - even ones you did not know of - and we will keep you in our hearts forever."

Danielle's husband, 38-year-old Kevin Jason Powell, appeared at Bournemouth magistrates' on Tuesday April 15 charged with her murder.

He was remanded in custody to appear at Winchester Crown Court on April 23.

Murderer heard ‘bad voice’ in his head
By Jim Durkin


A MAN who murdered his wife in a frenzied knife attack at their Poole home has been sentenced to life imprisonment.

Jealous Kevin Jason Powell, who feared his relationship with 29-year-old Danielle was over for good after she started seeing another man, launched his sick attack as she slept.

In the days before the murder last April, Powell told a family member he intended to kill Danielle.

Danielle awoke as the ferocious attack began but she was unable to fend off her powerfully-built husband. She suffered 27 separate knife wounds and died at the Hamworthy maisonette.

Powell, 38, who suffers from a personality disorder leading to emotional instability, pleaded guilty and was sentenced at Winchester Crown Court yesterday.

Passing sentence, Recorder Judge Broderick told Powell: "This certainly wasn't a spur of the moment reaction. You went into Danielle's room, she was asleep in the bedroom, and you started to stab her.

"These last minutes must have been utterly terrifying for her. It simply doesn't bear thinking about."

Danielle, who was murdered two days before her 30th birthday, was spending much of her time away from Powell, who had a history of violence.

She was studying for a degree in animal welfare and behaviour at Kingston Maurward agricultural college.

Powell told police he had two voices in his head on the night of the murder - one telling him to be nice to Danielle, the other saying kill her'. Prosecution barrister Ian Pringle told the court: "He succumbed to the bad voice."

More than 200 people attended Danielle's funeral and she was awarded her degree posthumously. Kingston Maurward College, where Danielle was described as one of the best students, has set up an annual grant and award in her name for students who overcome adversity.

A joint statement from Danielle's family welcomed the verdict, adding: "It won't bring Danielle back but we do feel that we have got some justice today.

"We would like to thank everyone involved including the police, ambulance crew, all our friends, neighbours and family and everyone at Kingston Maurward College for their support.

"Danielle's memory will live on through the Danielle Perrin Memorial Award."

Detective Inspector Jez Noyce also welcomed the sentence, adding: "This was a particularly callous murder."

Footprints in the sand...

Danielle, our lives will never be the same, the house is too quiet, the tube that we both rolled down the hill in lies still and the footprints in the sand where we played with the dogs have faded. You became part of our family and we miss you so much, you will always be in our memories. Your girls are a credit to you and our thoughts are also with them and the rest of your family. RIP lil' sis.... Love Jacs, Stv, Chas, Gramps and all the animals xxxxxxxxxxx

We go through life so often
Not stopping to enjoy the day,
And we take each one for granted
As we travel on our way.

We never stop to measure
Anything we just might miss,
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an ANGELS KISS.

A kiss that is sent from Heaven
A kiss from up above,
A kiss that is very special
From someone that you love.

For in your pain and sorrow
An ANGELS KISS will help you through,
This kiss is very private
For it is meant for only you.

So when your hearts are heavy
And filled with tears and pain,
And no one can console you
Remember once again.....

About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And the gentle breeze you took for granted
Was just......... 'AN ANGELS KISS'
